Vestibular Dysfunction in Wernicke’s Encephalopathy: Predominant Impairment of the Horizontal Semicircular Canals
Background Wernicke's encephalopathy (WE), a metabolic disorder due to thiamine deficiency, manifests with various neurological symptoms and signs. It has been known as a cause of vestibular dysfunction. Preliminary reports have proposed predominant involvement of the horizontal semicircular canals (HSCs). Objective To better characterize the pattern of vestibular impairment in patients with ...
متن کاملVestibular apparatus: dynamic model of the semicircular canals
The vestibular apparatus plays a fundamental role in equilibrioception. It is located in the inner ear and it substantially comprises otoliths, which indicate linear acceleration, and semicircular canals, which detect rotational acceleration. In this paper models of different complexity of the semicircular canals are reported and discussed: a monocanal hydro-elastic model and a three-canals mod...
متن کاملRegeneration of vestibular horizontal semicircular canal afferents in pigeons.
Spontaneous regeneration of vestibular and auditory receptors and their innervating afferents in birds, reptiles, and amphibians are well known. Here, we produced a complete vestibular receptor loss and epithelial denervation using an ototoxic agent (streptomycin), after which we quantitatively characterized the afferent innervation of the horizontal semicircular canals following completed rege...
متن کاملThree-dimensional analysis of vestibular efferent neurons innervating semicircular canals of the gerbil.
Anterograde labeling techniques were used to examine peripheral innervation patterns of vestibular efferent neurons in the crista ampullares of the gerbil. Vestibular efferent neurons were labeled by extracellular injections of biocytin or biotinylated dextran amine into the contralateral or ipsilateral dorsal subgroup of efferent cell bodies (group e) located dorsolateral to the facial nerve g...
متن کاملThe dimensions and sensitivities of semicircular canals.
With this definition it is possible to compare the mechanical sensitivities of all semicircular canals. For this purpose three different approaches seem feasible. (1) The effect of growth of one particular semicircular canal on G in one species. (2) Comparison of values of G for the three semicircular canals in one species. (3) Comparison of values of G of the horizontal canal in different spec...
