Whiplash patients referred for neurootological investigation underwent the full test battery including electronystagmography for spontaneous and positional nystgmus, ocular smooth pursuit, saccades, caloric responses and visual suppression during the caloric response. In most patients visual suppression was also performed using a broad frequency rotatory chair. Dynamic posturography was performed, in some patients even with head […]
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 […]
Advances in basic research in neurosciences and the introduction of new non-invasive techniques, that make possible the detection of weak signals of the brain, have revolutionized diagnosis and treatment. The most often used methods for functional imaging of the human brain are positron emission tomography (PET) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). More recently, a […]
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.
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. […]
