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
We admitted an 11-year-old girl with enlarged endolymphatic duct and sac syndrome to our hospital with severe nausea and vertigo. Three-dimensional constructive interference in steady state (3D-CISS) and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (3D-FLAIR) images revealed a reflux of proteinous or
A 36-year-old female with delayed endolymphatic hydrops (ELH) after acoustic tumor removal of the same ear is reported. She presented at our clinic with pressure, fullness, and tinnitus involving her right ear. She had an abnormal auditory brainstem response (ABR), and a computed tomography showed a
Delayed Endolymphatic Hydrops (DEH) is a disease entity that must be distinguished from idiopathic endolymphatic hydrops (Ménière's disease). Idiopathic hydrops is characterized by the following symptoms: 1) vertigo often accompanied by nausea and vomiting; 2) tinnitus; 3) hearing loss, usually
Perilymph fistula is defined as a leak of perilymph at the oval or round window. It excludes other conditions with "fistula" tests due to a dehiscent semicircular canal from cholesteotoma and the superior canal dehiscence syndrome. First recognized as a complication of stapedectomy, it then became
CONCLUSIONS
There was no evidence of a mean raised vasopressin level in 80 subjects suffering from definite Meniere's disease with positive electrocochleographic findings. There was no correlation with stress. The only group with a mildly raised level comprised those who had had a vertigo attack
We report a rare case of benign paroxysmal vertigo (BPV) of childhood transitioning into basilar migraine (BM) that was effectively treated with lomerizine. A 6-year-old male visited our hospital complaining of repeated attacks of vertigo for 3 months. The patient's vertigo attacks lasted for
BACKGROUND
Hydropic ear disease, initially described by and named after Prosper Menière, is one of the most frequent vertigo disorders and one of the most frequent inner ear disorders. It is the syndrome of endolymphatic hydrops which until 2007 could be diagnostically confirmed only by post-mortem
The feasibility of furosemide test for the detection of endolymphatic hydrops has previously been discussed (Authors, 1973, 1975). The glycerol test also has been reported as being effective for the same purpose but only in Meniere patients with fluctuating hearing loss (Klockhoff & Lindblom, 1966).
