Treatment

Major neurootological complaints, which mostly need drug treatment, are: giddiness,
dizziness, hearing loss and tinnitus. The neurootological differential diagnosis is the basis
for planning the mostly supportive treatment of vertigo patients. In planning the therapy, we
are utilizing a computerbased expert system CLAMEDEX for establishing the
neurootological diagnosis through history, ORL inspection, ENG, calorics, rotatory chair test,
cranio-corpo-graphy (CCG), optokinetics, [...]

We have been clinically treating vertigo patients for the last 45 years.

In fact, it is associated with various diseases in various clinical fields
including internal medicine, neurosurgery and ophthalmology.

Vestibular Neuronitis was described in 1949 and 1952 by Dix and Hallpike. Two groups of patients were described, those with sudden seizures and sensations of blackout (since identified as having Vestibular Neuritis) and a second group with symptoms of disequilibrium and feelings of top heaviness or imbalance. The pathology was felt to be central to [...]

Over the last 28 years the author has been fascinated with both Meniere’s disease and patients with perilymphatic fistula (PLF), two conditions which at times closely resemble each other and at times may be indistinguishable. Both conditions manifest themselves with vertigo, tinnitus, pressure or fullness and hearing fluctuation or loss. All of these [...]

Eighty patients with sudden hearing loss and seventy patients with a chronical cochlear function decreasing have been treated until now with intravenous infusion of a recombinant glycoprotein analogous tissutal plasminogen activator (rt-PA): 3mg dissolved in 250mg of physiological saline given every 12 hr intravenously.
Specifically excluded were patients with abnormal known coagulation.
No patient was treated longer [...]

Persistent blurred vision and oscillopsia have negative impact on Quality of Life, and the burden of these symptoms is more severe than that of rotationally vertigoiginous attack. We, doctors, should take patient’s pain as our own and treat patients accordingly. However, because these cases are rather rare in daily clinical situation, in reality, we tend [...]

L’ equilibrio attua un coordinamento costante tra input visivi, labirintici, somatosensoriali ed uditivi, al fine di ottenere un controllo ottimale della posizione degli occhi e del corpo nello spazio.
Le finalità dell’ equilibrio sono il controllo muscolare in statica e dinamica, la stabilizzazione della funzione visiva, la percezione dei movimenti e l’ organizzazione della sensibilità nello [...]

Two years ago the Vertigo Clinic started to operate in Limassol.
The aim of authors’ investigations is researching vertigo-producing factors in Cypriot patients, and to follow up the results of our treatment protocols.
During the last two years examination of 196 vertiginous patients was performed. The patients’ case history was documented by questionnaire, and a complete ENT, [...]

Objective/Hypothesis: The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of hydroxyethyl starch (HES 200) in the treatment of sudden deafness of vascular origin, and compare it with that of dextran 40.
Study Design: Prospective study
Methods: Ten patients with sudden deafness of vascular origin undergoing HES 200 therapy with the treatment program as HES 500 [...]

The AIM of this investigation is to evaluate the effect of Betaserc – 16 and 8 mg on the patients (workers in the system of transport), with vascular auditory and vestibular disturbances.
