Acustic neurinoma. report a case.
By Definition Acoustic Neurinoma is a benign tumor that may develop on the hearing and balance nerves near the inner ear. The tumor results from an overproduction of Schwann cells – small, sheet-like cells that normally wrap around nerve fibers like onion skin and help support the nerves. When growth is abnormally excessive, Schwann cells […]
Die moderne diagnostik bei gleichgewichtsfunktionsstörungen einschließlich eng, ccg und vbep
Die menschliche Gleichgewichtsfunktion wird durch ein sogenanntes Raumkonzept mit Einspeisung von Informationen aus der Gleichgewichtstetrade, nämlich Auge, Vestibularis, Cochlea und Propriozept im menschlichen Hirnstamm gebildet. Ergänzt wird die Gleichgewichtsregulation durch cerebelläre und kortikale Musterverarbeitungsprozesse und Speicherinhalte. Gleichgewichtsfunktionsstörungen können an den verschiedensten Orten der genannten Rezeptoren, wie auch innerhalb des Zentralnervensystemes entstehen. Für die diagnostische Suche […]
Bipedestation studied by posturography
Now, with the statistical support of 1500 examined patients, we are ready to confirm the results of our former investigations. Moreover, it is now statistically demonstrated by us that in Test of Balance, the most significant parameters in the 4 tests, from an statistical point of view, are: Equilibrium Area Total Displacement and Average Velocity […]
A comparative study between posturography and other vestibular tests
Human bipedestation is a complex process of cerebral integration of visual, somatosensitive and vestibular information. Therefore, our requirement as physicians, is to try to objectify these cybernetopathologies through studies, in order to be able to prescribe a suitable therapy. The purpose of this work is to submit a comparative statistical study between posturography and other […]
P-100 in the treatment of Ménière’s disease, a clinical study
Patients suffering from Ménière’s disease are particularly sensitive to negative pressure in the middle ear. E.g. attacks of vertigo can be triggered by a descent in an aircraft when ventilation of the middle ear can become critical. Positive pressure pulse treatment has shown to have a beneficial effect on the symptomatology, and is now a […]
Comparative results of the craniocorpography (ccg) and test of balance
Many authors had reported different useful studies in the evaluation of the vestibular function through vestibular, somatosensorial, viso-cortical systems in the Test of Balance.1,8 and to study the vestibular function through vestibuloespinal system in the Cranio-Corpo-Graphy (CCG) 2,3,4 Upon researching 100 patients suffering from vertigo we found that 36 % of them were male patients […]
Unexpected effects of air pollution on inner ear
Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (PPV) is the most frequent kind of vertigo. It is a recognized as an inner ear problem caused by small calcium carbonate crystals that float through the inner ear fluid and strike against the cupula of semicircular canal. Authors have observed in a retrospective statistical analysis of 575 patients through 5 years […]
3d digital craniocorpography: normalcy data
CranioCorpoGraphy (CCG) is one of the most common test to evaluate equilibrium and coordination, studying the pattern of movement of markers placed on the head and trunk. The aim of this work is the assess the coordination of healthy people in different experimental set-ups through a 3D dCCG system. So an optoelectronic system in a […]
