Ocular Motor Function in Patients with Bilateral Vestibular Weakness
Introduction: Patients with bilateral weakness (BW) have many difficulties in gaze stability that interfere with their normal function. The aim of this study was to evaluate ocular motor functions in patients with BW to better understand the problem of gaze instability in these patients. Materials and Methods: Patients were referred from the Otolaryngology Department for Vestibular Assessmen...
متن کاملCompensation Following Bilateral Vestibular Damage
Bilateral loss of vestibular inputs affects far fewer patients than unilateral inner ear damage, and thus has been understudied. In both animal subjects and human patients, bilateral vestibular hypofunction (BVH) produces a variety of clinical problems, including impaired balance control, inability to maintain stable blood pressure during postural changes, difficulty in visual targeting of imag...
متن کاملThe Challenge of Vestibular Rehabilitation in a Patient with Bilateral Vestibular Dysfunction Following Surgery: A Case Report
Introduction: Bilateral vestibular dysfunction (BVD) is an uncommon finding in vestibular assessment, and the combination of BVD and orthopedic problems represents a rare and challenging case for treatment. Case Report: The patient had several previous back surgeries and received gentamycin after surgery. After 6 months, she experienced continuous dizziness, unsteadiness and oscillopsia. ...
متن کاملVestibular function in severe bilateral vestibulopathy.
OBJECTIVES To assess residual vestibular function in patients with severe bilateral vestibulopathy comparing low frequency sinusoidal rotation with the novel technique of random, high acceleration rotation of the whole body. METHODS Eye movements were recorded by electro-oculography in darkness during passive, whole body sinusoidal yaw rotations at frequencies between 0.05 and 1.6 Hz in four ...
متن کاملBilateral vestibular loss in vertebrobasilar dolichoectasia.
Bilateral vestibular loss (BVL) is a relatively uncommon syndrome that may produce problems of balance; unsteady gait, especially in the dark; and visual disorders and/or oscillopsia associated with walking and head movements. Sometimes patients with BVL remain asymptomatic. Ototoxic drugs are the most frequently identified cause of BVL, but there are many other possible causes. The aetiology r...
