The study of equilibrium disorders due to whiplash trauma is becoming more and more important to evaluate the injury itself and identify useful therapies. A few peculiar features of this disease have been shown through postural evaluations. We aimed at overcoming this lack of information by using the Digital CranioCorpoGraphy (dCCG) instrumentation to study both […]
As a part of a full-range evaluation of patients with panic disease an instrumental examination of statokinetic test has been performed. At 40% of the patients pathological changes have been registered in the craniocorpographic or posturographical tests. There were mostly symptoms of a slight peripheral lesion, in two cases however there were psychogenic reactions too. […]
We have been clinically treating vertigo patients for the last 45 years. As you all know vertigo is not a simple otolaryngorogic disease. In fact, it is associated with various diseases in various clinical fields including internal medicine, neurosurgery and ophthalmology. International Tinnitus Journal – ITJ, go to http://www.tinnitusjournal.com/ As an otolaryngorogist, we have learned […]
A comparative study of cerebral cortical projections in migraine, in Ménière Syndrome and in Ménière Syndromes with migraine has been carried out. The analysis was made by Brain Electric Tomography – Loreta and the most significant areas have been evaluated by means of Statistical non Parametric Mapping – SnPM. Ménière Syndromes together with migraine are […]
A questionnaire was filled on vertiginous complaints and panic disorder by our patients. In group I. (panic disease with consecutive vertigo) and II. (vertiginous patients with secondary panic disorders) results were compared. We have found that there was only a negligible difference between the groups. The feeling of nausea suggests that vertigo has a main […]
The aim of the study was to search for the reason of vertigo in children who complain of it. 30 children who were treated by pediatrist beacuse of various diseases were tested. The detailed protocol of anamnesis, videonystagmography, posturography and additonal tests ordered by pediatrist were performed. The results were compared with the group of […]
Vestibular Neuronitis was described in 1949 and 1952 by Dix and Hallpike. Two groups of patients were described, those with sudden seizures and sensations of blackout (since identified as having Vestibular Neuritis) and a second group with symptoms of disequilibrium and feelings of top heaviness or imbalance. The pathology was felt to be central to […]
Over the last 28 years the author has been fascinated with both Meniere’s disease and patients with perilymphatic fistula (PLF), two conditions which at times closely resemble each other and at times may be indistinguishable. Both conditions manifest themselves with vertigo, tinnitus, pressure or fullness and hearing fluctuation or loss. All of these entities may […]
Phobia and panic are frequently associated to vertigo. The literature concerning phobia and panic describes and points out these disorders. Therefore the pychoanalytical considerations will be the support utilized for the comprehension of these dynamical psychic process.
Introduction: The classic Menière’s disease triad is: recurrent, episodic vertigo, hearing loss, not always fluctuating, and aural fullness or/and tinnitus. The etiology of the labyrinthine hydrops is not clear. Some authors suggest a connection between Meniére’ s syndrome, and vascular disorders. Single photon emission computer tomography scanning has been shown to be more sensitive than […]
