For this study we have selected tinnitus patients who suffer from tinnitus during their professional life. Therefore this group has undergone a therapeutic rehabilitation therapy for tinnitus with a programmed ameliorative improving therapy with guidance, exercise, instructions and special tinnitus rehab-program. As has been proved by vestibular evoked cortical potentials, together with charting by means […]

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 […]

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 […]

Advances in basic research in neurosciences and the introduction of new non-invasive techniques, that make possible the detection of weak signals of the brain, have revolutionized diagnosis and treatment. The most often used methods for functional imaging of the human brain are positron emission tomography (PET) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). More recently, a […]

Hockey is a contact team game played by international rules. According to the rules the hockey players while struggling for the puck are allowed to perform various co-operative and confrontational actions. Hockey is the faster team game.

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 […]

Since many years we are using the local positioning system of ultrasound computer cranio-corpo-graphy (US-COMP-CCG). The patient is carrying a helmet with 2 ultrasound markers and a shoulder fixation with 2 other ultrasound markers. A computer unit is triggering the ultrasound impulses. Backwardly and above the patient is the ultrsound receiver unit containing several ultrasound […]
