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 […]

The classic physiology describes reflex responses of neck muscles aimed at turning the head towards the source of acoustic stimuli. It is well known Tullio phenomenon (1929) which is a rare but […]
We have been clinically treating vertigo patients for the last 45 years. As you all know vertigo is not a simple otolaryngorogic disease.

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 […]

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.
To test the application of virtual reality (VR) on our patients we used a particular “helmet” connected to a personal computer. The rehabilitation training is divided in two phases: “passive” and “active”. RV 752 patients, 259 males and 393 females, had been submitted to the vestibular rehabilitation with VR. The patients were affected with: Paroxysmal […]
