By comparing the per-rotatory and the caloric tests, we can get important information regarding the stato-acoustic system. Considering the different behaviour of the stato-acoustic system under the influences of the changing dynamics of the shape and the intensity of the supraliminal vestibular stimuli in tinnitus patients, we are trying to find a correlation between the […]

Multiple sclerosis is known to be a degenerative central nervous diseases with multiple, irregular spots of degeneration. As the posterior fossa part of the brain most frequently is involved, we undertook a thorough analysis by means of our neurootological investigations in 127 cases suffering from ”encephalitis disseminata”. In our history system NODEC the occurrence rate […]
Major neurootological complaints, which mostly need drug treatment, are: giddiness, dizziness, hearing loss and tinnitus. The neurootological differential diagnosis is the basis for planning the mostly supportive treatment of vertigo patients. In planning the therapy, we are utilizing a computerbased expert system CLAMEDEX for establishing the neurootological diagnosis through history, ORL inspection, ENG, calorics, rotatory […]
Tinnitus due to irritations of the cervical spines and the neck High incidence rates of functional neurootological disorders containing vertigo and tinnitus are found in the group of head-neck-trauma patients . This also is important in cases of musculo-skeletal dysfunctions like neck dystonus and cervical diseases. These groups are seen to form subgroups in which […]
The facial nerve carries a very sensitive neurosensorial, as well as sensory motor structure in very neighbourhood of the statoacoustic nerve. In this paper we are comparing related functional changes in the statoacoustic system in 2 samples with 235 cases of peripheral facial nerve palsies and 42 cases of central facial nerve palsies. When submitting […]
The aim of this study was to investigate the different caloric findings in the Claussen-Butterflies in tinnitus patients under the assumption of a closely interrelated stato-acoustic network and to correlate these findings with our different tinnitus types. For this we used the NODEC IV data bank and searched for the most frequent types of butterflies […]
Vestibular Stimulus Response Intensity Comparisons (VSRIC) leading to the definition of a vestibular recruitment can be achieved by using intensity graded supraliminal stimuli of two different pairs. The perrotatory nystagmus results should be compared to the ipsilateral caloric warm responses. Discrepancies in both these tests indicate a vestibular recruitment or other pathology, thus reflecting the […]
Due to the increasing amount of requests for compensation, a medicolegal decision making system for NIHL-related tinnitus was developed within the Belgian Institute for Occupational Diseases, and – after a few preliminary trials – systematically used since 2002. This decision making system was first presented at the NES-meeting in Bad Kissingen 2004, and in the […]
