Background and purpose - Monitoring of the basilar artery (BA) is difficult and has been sparsely performed. The aim of this study was to present physiological data of functional transcranial Doppler sonagraphy (TCD) of the BA during caloric vestibular stimulation in healthy volunteers. Methods - TCD of the BA was performed in 26 healthy volunteers (14 women, 12 men, age 25.1+/-3 years) during caloric vestibular stimulation. Vertigo was documented using electronystagmography (ENG) and a subjective vertigo scale ranging from 0 to 10 points. Simultaneously, capnogpraphy was performed. Results - All subjects experienced vertigo, nausea and oszillopsia during vestibular irrigation. The average subjective vertigo was for a period of 106 s (+/-65.4); the average subjective estimated degree of vertigo was 6.7 points (+/-1.5). In all subjects, ENG demonstrated horizontal nystagm to the left non-irrigated side. In 14 subjects the subjective vertigo was rated by the individuals as extreme (point score greater than or equal to 7) and in 12 subjects as low (point score
