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% […]

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 […]

145 cases of cephalo-cervicaly injured patients were intensively investigated and evaluated by means of a modern neurootometric test battery. In addition every patient was seen by a neuro-radiologist with a special newly developed method of funtional MRI scanning, the so-called dynamic functional MRI of the Head, especially of the cranio-cervical junction (head sockle joint) . […]

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 […]

When the vascular disorder of the cochleovestibular system is mentioned, the diagnosis is based on exclusion of other diseases. Since arteries of the cochleovestibular system cannot be directly visualized, physicians must deduce from the vascular risk factors and the vascular lesion of other territories to the vascular cochleovestibular disease. Authors analyzed neurootological and audiological examination […]

The author proposes, as disease for the study of drugs activity on vestibular compensation mechanisms in man, a peripheral labyrinthine disease without spontaneous nystagmus of type II or III. He evaluates the state of compensation by the evolution of static posturography parameters and by the score of Norre’s VHT (vestibular habituation training) during an observation […]

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 […]

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 […]

Meniere’s disease (MD) is an idiopathic inner ear disorder characterized by fluctuating hearing loss, episodic vertigo and tinnitus of unknown etiology. There are growing evidences that autoimmunity may be involved in its development. We studied the reactivity to bovine inner ear antigens by Western blot immunoassay in sera from patients affected by MD, previously extensively […]

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 […]
