vertigo/edema

Advances in high resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have enabled the detection of endolymphatic hydrops (EH), a pathological ballooning of the endolymphatic fluid system, known to be associated with Menière's disease. When a patient has a known diagnosis of vestibular schwannoma and

We undertook a study to assess whether patients who had both spontaneous vertigo and headache would respond to treatment for endolymphatic hydrops rather than treatment for migraine. We also attempted to discover if there were any individual characteristics that might predict which patients with an

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) in patients diagnosed with endolymphatic hydrops (EH) and to analyze whether this association is a factor for poor prognosis in these patients. METHODS A retrospective study was carried

OBJECTIVE To describe possible cases of cochleosaccular endolymphatic hydrops without vertigo. METHODS Retrospective case report. METHODS University hospital. METHODS Three patients with possible cochleosaccular hydrops without vertigo were studied. The basis of diagnosis was positive result of the

CONCLUSIONS Otolithic vertigo is sometimes accompanied by hearing loss. Otolithic vertigo accompanied by hearing loss seems to be caused by sacculocochlear endolymphatic hydrops. OBJECTIVE To clarify the lesion site and pathophysiology of otolithic vertigo (OV) accompanied by hearing

OBJECTIVE Even though it is currently not possible to prove a pathological diagnosis for inner ear disease, acute low-frequency hearing loss (ALFHL) without vertigo could be caused by inner ear hydrops because progression into the clinical spectrum of endolymphatic hydrops (EH) frequently occur

BACKGROUND Although benign paroxysmal positional vertigo and endolymphatic hydrops are considered to be distinct diagnoses, a minority of vertiginous patients exhibit features of both conditions. This coincidence has been reported previously in the literature, and is reviewed here in terms of

OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was to examine the association of neuro-otological examination, blood test, and scoring questionnaire data with treatment-resistant intractability in idiopathic benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) patients. METHODS We experienced 1520 successive

OBJECTIVE To use modern high-resolution inner ear imaging modalities to evaluate for endolymphatic hydrops (EH) in a patient with migraine-associated fluctuating hearing loss without vertigo spells or dizziness. BACKGROUND EH has been well described in patients with Meniere's disease on both human

Meniere's disease is a common disease, that presents with recurrent vertigo and cochlear symptoms. The pathology of Meniere's disease was first reported to involve endolymphatic hydrops in 1938. The endolymphatic sac is thought to have a role to keep the hydrostatic pressure and endolymph

CONCLUSIONS Idiopathic otolithic vertigo (IOV) with relatively long duration of attacks might be caused by endolymphatic hydrops in the otolith organ. OBJECTIVE To clarify the pathophysiology underlying IOV, episodic tilting or translational sensation attacks by unknown causes, especially the

We present an unusual case of a patient with a positive Tullio phenomenon, brief Valsalva-induced transient horizontal nystagmus, reduced left caloric response, and bilateral vestibulo-ocular reflex loss. This study discusses the pathophysiology and differential diagnosis concerning the suspected
