It has been demonstrated that by means of objective and quantitative methods – as the Test of Balance or Posturography – it is possible to evaluate the sensorial afferentias involved in bipedestation. The purpose of this presentation is to carry out a study using Posturography and Low Resolution Brain Electric Tomography (LORETA) in 153 Patients. […]

The goal of this work is to study the vestibular system of whiplash people using a 3D dCCG system. A new experimental set-up, based on optoelettronic technique, was developed to evaluate the 3D pattern of movement of head and trunk in different experimental set-ups. The exam protocol is very close to the classical one with […]

A study of cerebral cortical projections in Ménière Syndrome 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. The regular Ménière Syndrome (vertigo-hypoacusis-tinnitus) has a very important cortical representation in frontal areas Brodmann […]

Individual mobility during old age by means of an artificial and intelligent exo-skeleton – “Auto-Cyberno-Mobil”. During the metamorphosis of our ongoing life the old people experience the changes in their bodily abilities, as well as in their personal wishes. The latter also comprise the critical incorporation of memories and experiences. On the other hand they […]

Introduction: The goal of this study is to evaluate the role of vestibular rehabilitation (VR) with feed-back techniques such us dynamic posturography compared with conventional postural and oculocephalic maneuvers, after vestibular neurectomies (VN), in patients with unilateral Ménière disease, and to demonstrated if instrumental (VR) improves recovery of balance. Material and Methods: Sixty three patients […]

Ketamine, or ketamine hydrochloride, is a non-barbiturate, rapid-acting disassociative anesthetic: the primary central nervous system action of ketamine appears to be a non-competitive block of NMDA (named after the selective agonist N-methyl-D-aspartate). In the current study, we examined the effect of ketamine on cortical and subcortical function by exploiting evoked eye movements: we analyzed the […]

Objectives: An isolated directional preponderance (PD) on bithermal caloric testing leaves many doubts to neurootology. It is considered by some to be as a transient, benign disorder (Halmagy, GM et al). We tried to elucidate if the PD can be considered important for the clinical diagnosis, without anamnesis. Methods: A retrospective study of 136 electronystagmographies, […]

In Hungarian expertise the patients with vertigo and sensorineural hearing loss and tinnitus are examined and treated in special outpatient departments of hospitals. Authors are analyzing the data of their patients, which were examined in the last two years in their otoneurological outpatient department. Most of the patients reach the outpatient department from general otolaryngological […]
