Side-by-side comparison of DVA signature patterns across the eleven canonical presets — normal, the eight disease chapters, presbyvestibulopathy, and the post-rehabilitation BVP pattern. Pick two signatures, choose a view mode, and the figure plus the matched DvaSignatureCard details render below.

Overlay of Bilateral vestibulopathy and Right vestibular neuritis. Compare the polygon shapes: symmetric patterns appear as squares centred on the origin; asymmetric peripheral disease shows a kite skewed toward the affected canal's axis; severe bilateral patterns push the polygon outward in every direction.

Signature A

Bilateral vestibulopathy — established

DVA SIGNATURESevere

Bilateral vestibulopathy — established

DVA loss
Severe symmetric 0.45-0.50 logMAR in all directions

Corroborating tests
vHIT gain < 0.6 bilaterally · caloric sum < 6 °/s per side · normal SVV · variable VEMPs

Key signature: The BVP fingerprint: symmetric severe DVA loss without directional asymmetry. Cause follows — ototoxicity, idiopathic, post-meningitis, CANVAS — but the DVA pattern is the same.

Signature B

Acute right vestibular neuritis (superior division)

DVA SIGNATUREModerate

Acute right vestibular neuritis (superior division)

DVA loss
Marked asymmetric loss — 0.45 logMAR rightward, near-normal leftward
Laterality
Right
Asymmetry
Highly asymmetric — diagnostic of unilateral peripheral disease
Corroborating tests
vHIT gain reduced on right horizontal canal · oVEMP reduced left · cVEMP preserved · hearing normal

Key signature: The canonical fingerprint of acute unilateral peripheral disease: directional DVA asymmetry where head motion toward the affected side probes the impaired canal.
