Previous series of bilateral vestibular loss (BVL) identified numerous etiologies, but surprisingly, a cause in a significant number of cases remains unknown. In an effort to understand possible etiology and management strategies, a global effort is currently in progress. Here, I
Bilateral vestibular failure (BVF) is an often undetected disorder of the peripheral labyrinths or the eighth nerves. Key symptoms are oscillopsia during locomotion or head movements and unsteadiness, particularly in the dark. Diagnosis is made by a bedside test for defective vestibulo-ocular reflex
This review provides an update on interdisciplinary treatment for dizziness. Dizziness can have various causes and the treatment offered should depend on the cause. After reading this article, the clinician will have an overview of current treatment recommendations. Recommendations are made for the
In 1941 Dandy described patients in whom he had performed bilateral vestibular nerve sections who reported "jumbling" objects in their visual fields when in motion and difficulty walking in the dark. We use the term Dandy's syndrome to describe patients with bilateral vestibular loss as the cause of
OBJECTIVE

BACKGROUND
Flow cytometry allows single-cell analysis of peripheral biological samples and is useful in many fields of research and clinical applications, mainly in hematology, immunology, and oncology. In the neurosciences, the flow cytometry separation method was first applied to stem cell
Endolymphatic hydrops features excess endolymph in the membranous labyrinth, and is a marker of Menière's disease. Between the early 1980s and late 2000s, MRI in Menière's disease aimed purely to rule out tumor or malformation as differential diagnoses for the pressure disorder. Progress in
Vertigo and dizziness are frequent chief complaints in clinical practice. Symptoms may originate from otological, neurological, medical and psychiatric etiologies, which poses an interdisciplinary challenge. Systematic analysis of case history and clinical examination generally allow classification
This article reviews recent research that addresses the functional outcomes of intervention for vestibular disorders. Vestibular impairments cause disequilibrium, blurred vision, disorientation, and vertigo. These sensory disturbances and motor impairments in turn cause dysfunction in many
Meningeal carcinomatosis (MC) is an uncommon form of metastasis of solid tumors. Hearing loss as the presenting symptom of MC is very uncommon. A patient with an esophageal signet ring cell carcinoma 3 years previously presented with sudden onset of profound hearing loss affecting both ears. He had
