Objective: to evaluate the quality of life (QOL) of elderly patients with dizziness and to compare the QOL of elderly patients who presented falls in the last twelve months with those who didn’t. Methods: exploratory study including fifty elderly patients suffering from dizziness and a hypothesis of vestibular syndrome. These patients were submitted to the […]
Migraine is rather often disorder affecting 5-18% of population. And though there is no vestibular migraine in the International Statistical Classification of Deseases (ICD-10), this pathology is under discussion in the neurootological literature. That is why the item of our study has been the correlation between vestibular dysfunction and migraine. Special attention being paid to […]
Cortical activity has been analyzed on 238 patients consulting on vertigo and motion sickness, who were studied through Vestibular Cortical Evoked Potentials Mapping, Brain Mapping in rest state and Brain Mapping under 3D Virtual Reality Stimulation.
Two years ago the Vertigo Clinic started to operate in Limassol. The aim of authors’ investigations is researching vertigo-producing factors in Cypriot patients, and to follow up the results of our treatment protocols. During the last two years examination of 196 vertiginous patients was performed. The patients’ case history was documented by questionnaire, and a […]
Objectives/Hypothesis: Despite its widespread application in the posterior fossa tumor, the study of VEMP in cases of posterior fossa stroke remains scarce. The purpose of this paper is to establish the role of VEMP in patients with brainstem stroke. Methods: Acute vertigo patients were admitted and underwent a battery of audio-vestibular testings including caloric test […]
Objective: Staging of Meniere’s disease proposed by AAO-HNS (1995) was based on the arithmetic mean of the pure tone thresholds at 0.5, 1, 2, and 3kHz, using the worst audiogram during the interval six months before treatment. Accordingly, stage I means four-tone average less than 26 dB; stage II, 26-40 dB, stage III, 41-70 dB, […]
The AIM of this investigation is to evaluate the effect of Betaserc – 16 and 8 mg on the patients (workers in the system of transport), with vascular auditory and vestibular disturbances.
An apoplectic stroke means sudden neurologic impairment due to a cerebrovascular disorder, limited by some to intracranial hemorrhage, extended by others to include occlusive cerebrovascular lesions. Cerebrovascular accidents may occur at any age, but intracerebral hemorrhage and thrombosis are rare before age 40 years. Peak incidence for cerebral thrombosis is at age 50 – 70 […]
Haemodynamic disorders are accounted amongst the most common factors for vertigo genesis. These disorders can occur in all age groups, but appear more often after the sixth decade of life. The location of the damage can be at the peripheral and / or central Vestibular levels. Dihydroergocristine Mesylate (DM) belongs to the “drug-menu” used for […]
About 15% of temporal bone fractures are produced by blows to the occiput. The fracture line begins in the posterior fossa, at or near the foramen magnum, crosses the petrous ridge through the internal auditory canal and/or the otic capsule. Therefore it is thus called a transverse fracture. In transverse fractures of temporal bone, due […]
