Presented are ten cases of patients with perilymphatic fistula and/or endolymphatic hydrops who had tinnitus as a major complaint. Tinnitus and its degree of severity often correlate closely with the state of health or hydrodynamic integrity of the inner ear, as these cases illustrate.
Tinnitus is one of the symptoms of Meniere's disease. The relationship between a clinical presentation of subjective tinnitus or ear fullness and endolymphatic hydrops (EH) has not yet been explored. We studied 15 patients with symptoms of tinnitus as their major complaint, with or without hearing
Secondary endolymphatic hydrops (SEH) has clinically been found to have a significant incidence of occurrence in patients with subjective idiopathic tinnitus (SIT) of a severe disabling type. The diagnosis is made clinically and has been established by integration in a medical audiological tinnitus
The vestibular-evoked myogenic potential (VEMP) is expected to be one of the examinations for saccular function. We report a case of dysequilibrium possibly due to a saccular disorder. A 27-year-old female came to our clinic complaining of severe recurrent dysequilibrium spells for few hours on
OBJECTIVE
Because endolymphatic hydrops causes cochlear malfunction, and both otoacoustic emissions and cochlear microphonics measure specific cochlear activities, some insight into the pathology of Meniere's disease might be gained by using these two test modalities. Specifically, the involvement
Endolymphatic hydrops of the inner ear is identified as a swelling of the endolymphatic spaces. This morphopathology in man can only be confirmed at post-mortem examination although it is believed to underlie the auditory dysfunction and vestibular disturbances associated with Menière's disease.
OBJECTIVE
We report a case of laryngeal edema associated with the Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) syndrome.
METHODS
A 32-year-old African-American female presented with a 12-day prodrome, including headache, tinnitus and shortness of breath, which preceded sudden photophobia and bilateral visual loss.
Syphilis is a preventable and curable multi-organ disease caused by Treponema pallidum that may also affect the inner ear. First reported in 1887 by Adam Politzer, luetic endolymphatic hydrops (LEH) is a treatable complication of syphilis which causes a potentially reversible sensorineural hearing
A 46-year-old female with profound sensorineural hearing loss in her left ear from childhood developed tinnitus and fluctuating hearing loss on the right side 8 years ago. Four years later, paroxysmal episodes of rotatory vertigo occurred with gradually increased frequency, lasting from half an hour
OBJECTIVE
Endolymphatic hydrops in patients diagnosed with Ménière's disease causes changes in the response properties of the basilar membrane that lead to impaired high-pass noise masking of auditory brainstem responses to clicks.
BACKGROUND
Ménière's disease is defined as the idiopathic syndrome
The diagnosis of Menière's disease is classically based on the triad of symptoms including fluctuating hearing loss, tinnitus and vertigo. Modifications to the electrocochleographic response have been searched as a possible help in the diagnosis. Various authors have reported a tendency for an
In 73 patients composing 84 ears, with persistent decompensated tinnitus and sensorineural deafness, tinnitus suppression was attempted with low frequency, low ampere transdermal electrical stimulation (TDES). The causes of tinnitus were presbyacusis, unknown aetiology, Noise exposure, otosclerosis,
Tinnitus is one of the three classical symptoms of Ménière's disease (MD), an inner ear disease that is often accompanied by endolymphatic hydrops. Previous studies indicate that tinnitus in MD patients is dominated by low frequencies, whereas tinnitus in non-hydropic pathologies is typically higher
