ABSTRACT Glomus tympanicum and Glomus jugulare: Both commonly present as a middle ear mass resulting in tinnitus (in 80%) and hearing loss (in 60%). About 85% of paragangliomas develop in the abdomen; only 12% develop in the chest and 3% in the head and neck region (the latter are the most likely to be symptomatic). […]
Validating a Spectrum of Equilibriometric Test for Office Use during 40 Years from 1970 till 2010 Claussen Erika et all Modern equilibriometry is a non-invasive investigation method. It allows establishing a neurootological topodiagnostic scheme, which leads to a correlated therapy of the various disequilibrium states. It also can be used for monitoring and guiding a […]
Trends in Neurootosurgery from 1970 till 2010 Kersebaum Michael et all Giddiness and dizziness are very common amongst our patients.In Germany these signs occur in about 10 % of the patients of the general practitioner and in about 30 % of the ENT- specialist. Because of these quantities there is a great demand for vertigo […]
40 Years of Body Movement Analysis by CCG and Posturography between 1970 till 2010 Heid Lorant et all The most sensitive indicator for giddiness and dizziness, i. e. human disequilibrium, are the motor reactions of the body. Already in the year 1848, Romberg designed the so-called Romberg standing test. In the year 1938, Unterberger designed […]
Differentiations in the Vestibular Caloric Test Results by means of Butterfly Patterns from 1970 till 2010Bencsik Bencsik Beata et all Principally, the caloric test of Barany is the most systematic test only stimulating one inner ear receptor, i. e., the lateral vestibular semicircular canal. Opposite to audiometry, you have no masking problems. For evaluating objectively […]
Abstract Discussions on Per- and Postrotatory Tests for Diagnostic Nystagmus Stimulation in the Neurootological Laboratory from 1970 till 2010 Bencze Gabor, et all The rotatory chair position is seated on a church-bell held with ball bearings. However, additionally, the bioelectrical potentials, which were derived by pairs of ENG-electrodes sitting on either side of the two […]
The aim of this study to analyze the data of 145 vertiginous patients aged up to 18 years, which were examined at the Otoneurological Department of the Semmelweis University during the last five years. For the analysis, group of children (aged up to 14 years) and group of adolescents (ages between 14-18 years,) were formed. […]
The authors aim to process the data of the patients in a period of the last five years at the Otoneurological Department. They have examined the distribution of the patients according to their age and gender. They have also inspected the most common diseases. The number of patients has been assessed in monthly distribution, too. […]
A final common pathway (FCP) for tinnitus has been hypothesized since 1989 for all clinical types of tinnitus, particularly subjective idiopathic tinnitus (SIT) of the severe disabling type. This was intended to explain the transformation-transition of the sensation of an aberrant auditory sensation—tinnitus (i.e., the sensory component)—to one of affect (i.e., the emotional-behavioral component) or, […]
The translation of a neurovascular hypothesis for Alzheimer’s disease to subjective idiopathic tinnitus (SIT) is presented as a challenge to the predominantly sensorineural view of SIT and its clinical application for tinnitus treatment. The concept of neurovascular dysfunction and neurodegeneration (ND) in SIT patients has been proposed and reported as an etiology in a particular […]
