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 […]

Whiplash accidents may cause disturbances to the neck and/or CNS, primarily the brainstem. Neurootological findings are frequent. Posture is disturbed when the neck is held in a provocative position. Tjell et al have reported very high frequency of disturbances in the ocular pursuit tested with the neck turned. We tested 34 whiplash patients and 20 […]

Concussion of the brain describes a violent jar or shock, or the condition which results from such an injury. Loss of consciousness obviously appears as the result of a blow to the head. In mild concussion there is transient loss of consciousness with possible impairment of the higher mental functions, such as retrograde amnesia and […]

Since 1998 I have been carrying out an investigation about the effect of the stress on the vestibular analyzer. Until this moment over 100 patients suffering from stress vestibular disorders have been examined. It has been determined that stato-kinetic disorders in the major part of the patients are with general characteristics that are typical for […]

We carried out a retrospective survey of 25 years of clinical experience with the use of clonazepam as a vestibular and tinnitus suppressant in the pharmacological treatment of vestibular or cochleovestibular disorders due to different causes.

A new version of craniocorpography (CCG), called computerized ultrasonographic CCG (Comp-USCCG), has been clinically applied for objective recording, documentation, and quantitative evaluation of abnormal psychomotor activity in psychiatric patients.

Temporomandibular joint dysfunction in whiplash injuries is usual. The author describes the mechanism of this joint dysfunction and the physiopathology of tinnitus and associated balance disorders.

This study was conducted in an attempt to determine the efficacy of neurofeedback (NFB) in the treatment of patients suffering from vertigo or tinnitus. Results indicated that after NFB, power for delta and theta bands was reduced; however, an increase of power was noted for the alpha bands.

In a randomized, double-blind clinical study, we evaluated the efficacy and tolerability of the fixed combination of cinnarizine, 20 mg, and dimenhydrinate, 40 mg (Arlevert [ARL]) in comparison to betahistine dimesylate (12 mg) in 82 patients suffering from Ménière’s disease for at least 3 months and showing the characteristic triad of symptoms (paroxysmal vertigo attacks, […]

Several prognostic indicators of favorable outcome in idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (ISSHL) have been proposed: an initial profound hearing loss, a down-sloping audiometric curve, advanced age, and the presence of vertigo. The latter has been disputed in the literature. The present study addressed the correlation between vertigo and outcome of ISSHL. Sixty-seven patients with […]
