vertigo/atrophy

BACKGROUND The aim of the work was to analyse sudden deterioration of hearing and/or vertigo occurrence as an early symptom of posterior cranial fossa tumours. METHODS Among 1.394 people who reported vertigo and hearing impairment and were hospitalised at the Department of Otolaryngology and

Otoconia are assumed to be involved in inner ear disorders such as benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). Up to now, the distinct structure and morphology of intact and degenerate human utricular otoconia has been only poorly investigated on vital specimen. In this study, human otoconia were

OBJECTIVE Recent studies show that benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) may also affect the macula of the saccule. We investigated vestibular evoked myogenic potential (VEMP) results in patients with BPPV. METHODS The study group included 31 patients (31 ears) diagnosed with posterior canal

A 70-year-old woman developed paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration (PCD) due to P/Q-type and N-type voltage-gated calcium channel antibodies and small cell lung cancer, the main clinical manifestations of which were severe positioning vertigo and vomiting. Loss of the visual suppression of caloric

In order to investigate whether dysautonomia lies behind vertigo and/or dizziness in the neurotological clinic, an electrocardiogram (ECG) R-peak to R-peak test (R-R test) along with the Schellong test were simultaneously performed in 136 subjects. ECG data were analyzed by a microcomputer, and R-R

OBJECTIVE We aimed to evaluate the clinical implications of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in patients with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). METHODS A total of 120 patients diagnosed with BPPV completed MRI at the emergency room between December 2012 and June 2015 and met our

OBJECTIVE To determine the surgical efficacy of a simplified retrosigmoid approach for vestibular nerve sectioning. METHODS A retrospective analysis. METHODS Tertiary academic referral center. METHODS Twenty-eight consecutive patients who underwent vestibular nerve sectioning for intractable

OBJECTIVE To evaluate cerebellar volume changes and the asymmetry of patients with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). METHODS The cerebellar hemispheres` volumetric symmetry were evaluated using a stereological method on MR images. The study included 15 patients with BPPV, and 14 age-, and

This Paper reports a late uncontrolled diabetic presenting to an otolaryngologist with sudden severe sensorineural hearing loss of immediate origin with vertigo and tinnitus as the symptoms. Appropriate investigative and treatment measure resulted in deterioration of hearing in the right ear and

Positional vertigo is a common neurologic emergency and mostly the etiology is peripheral. However, central diseases may mimic peripheral positional vertigo at their initial presentation. We here describe the results of a visual suppression test in six patients with spinocerebellar ataxia type 6

A pendular rotation test in a head-tilted position (60 degrees backwards and rotated 45 degrees to either the right or left) was performed in 7 patients with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). Patients were rotated 360 degrees at a frequency of 0.1 Hz (maximum speed 114 degrees/s). The

Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) is one of the most common causes of dizziness; it constitutes the most common vestibular disorder in the elderly with vertigo. Its characteristic clinical aspect is dizziness at head movement, with not hearing alteration. OBJECTIVE This paper aims at

Otolaryngologists typically perform diagnoses and offer medical treatment for vestibular dysfunction. This vestibular dysfunction manifests as benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), Ménière's disease, vestibular neuronitis, and so on. The etiology of BPPV is still not clear, so in this article
