Phlethysmogram monitoring degree of the vessel extension would show condition of the blood flow. Impaired blood flow in the peripheral and central vestibular system is one of the major causes of acute onset of vertigo. In younger patients, phlethysmogram sometimes showed unbalance of the blood flow in the right and left side. Surprisingly the side […]
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 […]
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, […]
BACKGROUND: sudden deafness is not a common pathology in childhood. Generally is not associated with dizziness and tinnitus. Very frequently the diagnosis is postpone because the parents and the patients don´t notice the isolated hearing loss. Sometimes the etiology is not found but there are evidences that inner ear malformation and viral infections are related […]
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 […]
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 […]
