Patients were classified into two groups: I, vertigo and/or tinnitus were preceded by panic (n=20); II, panic was preceded by vertigo and/or tinnitus (n=43). 61 patients of 63 suffered from dizziness, whereas 41 complained for tinnitus.

Microthrombotic vascular lesions could be the primary or secondary cause but, however, in most of the cases are at the base of the lesions of tinnitus. On those bases we consider that a therapy with enoxaparine has a wide field of action. Two hundred cases of patients, who had suffered from tinnitus for at least […]
To test the application of virtual reality (VR) on our patients we used a particular “helmet” connected to a personal computer. The rehabilitation training is divided in two phases: “passive” and “active”. RV 752 patients, 259 males and 393 females, had been submitted to the vestibular rehabilitation with VR. The patients were affected with: Paroxysmal […]
Introduction: Acupuncture is a therapeutic technique based on the concepts of the Traditional Chinese Medicine, which mechanism of action could be explained by the efferent nervous system from stimulation of specific points on the body surface.

Resumen: En este trabajo se describe al Hemangiopericitoma, las características clínicas de ésta patología en la región sinonasal, su diagnóstico y el plan De tratamiento de elección. A […]
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) . […]
