The evaluation of cochleovestibular dysfunction in psychiatric patients often causes difficult problem in neurootological expertise. The most difficult challenge is the combined lesion: psychiatric disorders with organic cochleovestibular diseases. Authors discuss the neurobiological base of panic disorders and the cochleovestibular dysfunction. Authors of the multicentric study examined 63 patients with vertigo and panic disease. Twenty […]
Phobia and panic are frequently associated to vertigo. The literature concerning phobia and panic describes and points out these disorders. Therefore the pychoanalytical considerations will be the support utilized for the comprehension of these dynamical psychic process.
The origin of the generation of saccadic and smooth pursuit eye movements has not been proved. The goal of the study was to search for the connection of the visual- oculomotor reactions: saccades and eye-tracking test with cerebellar damage. 11 patients treated with aminoglicosides, because of pneumonia, were tested using electronystagmography (ENG). After 21 (mean) […]
Delayed endolymphatic hydrops (DEH) is a clinical entity which can be differentiated from Ménière’s disease and is typically observed in patients who have been suffering from longstanding unilateral profound inner ear hearing loss. DEH is probably caused by delayed atrophy or fibrous obliteration of the endolymphatic resorptive system of the membranous labyrinth. The time that […]
The aim of the study was to search for the reason of vertigo in children who complain of it. 30 children who were treated by pediatrist beacuse of various diseases were tested. The detailed protocol of anamnesis, videonystagmography, posturography and additonal tests ordered by pediatrist were performed. The results were compared with the group of […]
We have been clinically treating vertigo patients for the last 45 years. As you all know vertigo is not a simple otolaryngorogic disease. In fact, it is associated with various diseases in various clinical fields including internal medicine, neurosurgery and ophthalmology. International Tinnitus Journal – ITJ, go to http://www.tinnitusjournal.com/ As an otolaryngorogist, we have learned […]
Pathology from childhood up to adolescence carries physical, cognitive, motor, linguistic, perceptual, social, emotional and neurosensorial characteristics. Especially the age between the 8th year until the 14th or 15th year of life carry very special traits of a roll-over in the data processing with respect to balance regulation. Neurootological functional data acquisition provides us with […]
Objetivo Avaliar a postura estática de pacientes com zumbido, vertigem associado a alteração da articulação temporomandibular. Método Foram avaliados do ponto de vista fisioterápico 30 pacientes com zumbido, vertigem e alteração da articulação temporomandibular, cujas idades variaram entre 15 e 60 anos de idade, sendo 22 (73,3%) do sexo feminino e 08 (26,7%) do sexo […]
From a major group of neurootological patients in our data-bank NODEC IV we have selected a group of patients who had suffered rhino-fronto-basal skull fractures. Some anatomical features lead to the concentration of cranial fractures to the base of the cranial vault. In case a strike hits the head frontally, forces coming from the face […]
The study of equilibrium disorders due to whiplash trauma is becoming more and more important to evaluate the injury itself and identify useful therapies. A few peculiar features of this disease have been shown through postural evaluations. We aimed at overcoming this lack of information by using the Digital CranioCorpoGraphy (dCCG) instrumentation to study both […]
