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.
Vertigo in children is rarer than in adults and the examiner in cases showing these symptoms must rely on the parents’ or relatives’ observations and details. Besides the equilibrium disorders caused by hereditary malabsorptions or lesions in the peripheral and central vestibular structures, we know of typical diseases, associated with vertigo and hearing problems, that […]
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 […]
Objective: Amongst the reasons causing the inner ear pathology being accompanied by fits of giddiness, the most frequently occurring are the endolymphatic hydrops & benign paroxysmal positioning vertigo (BPPV). In the whole number of scientific articles there may be found the mentioning of patients with the combination of BPPV & Menier’s Disease. The reasons & […]
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 […]
Aim: comparative study in vestibular function in patients with vertigo using craneocorpography, computerized electronystagmograhy and ultrasonography doppler of head and neck at Mexico City, Germany and Argentina. Materials and Methods: one thousand three hundred fourty three patients in Mexico,City with vertigo using craneocorporgraphy and computerized electronystagmography and ultrasonography doppler of head and neck. Results: 45,07% […]
The aim of the study was to observe the usefulness of Betaserc in therapy of vestibular disorders in the patients with vertebro-basilar insufficiency. 80 patients (43 female, 37 male) were tested on the base of videonystagmography, stabilometry and brain stem auditory evoked potentials. Betaserc was ordered in two separate doses: 3x 8mg and 3x 16 […]
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 […]
The diagnosis of patients in modern neuro-otogical centres has to include not only history and examination, but also objetive and quantitative tests. In this study stress the importance of a short but significant Many authors had reported different usefull studies in the evaluation of the nystagmus which may be spontaneous and induce, any one of […]
INTRODUCTION: Our purpose of study is to verify the possibility of applying a diagnostic method for the evaluation of vestibular function using an “atraumatic” method of examination. We are currently using a computerized system that will objectively analyse the answer of the patients undergoing “virtual reality” stimuli in the absence of influence of external parameters. […]
