Vestibular Function and Quality of Life in Vestibular Schwannoma: Does Size Matter?
OBJECTIVES Patients with vestibular schwannoma (VS) frequently suffer from disabling vestibular symptoms. This prospective follow-up study evaluates vestibular and auditory function and impairment of quality of life due to vertigo, dizziness, and imbalance in patients with unilateral VS of different sizes before/after microsurgical or radiosurgical treatment. METHODS Thirty-eight patients wit...
متن کاملVestibular Function In Vestibular Schwannoma
Introduction: Traditionally vestibular function has been assessed using caloric irrigations; new methods have failed to reach the same level of accuracy. Vestibular nerve dysfunction occurs with 'acoustic neuroma' or 'vestibular schwannoma. Quantitative testing of hearing by audiometry is much more widely available than quantitative vestibular testing, although consideration of vestibular dysfu...
متن کاملp73 expression and function in vestibular schwannoma.
OBJECTIVES To determine the expression of the p53 family member p73 in vestibular schwannoma (VS) and to determine the potential role of this tumor suppressor in regulating the proliferation of HEI193, a human papillomavirus E6-E7 immortalized VS cell line. METHODS Immunohistochemical staining was used to investigate the expression of p73 in 34 cases of archived VS tissue, while Western blot ...
متن کاملElectrical Vestibular Stimulation after Vestibular Deafferentation and in Vestibular Schwannoma
BACKGROUND Vestibular reflexes, evoked by human electrical (galvanic) vestibular stimulation (EVS), are utilized to assess vestibular function and investigate its pathways. Our study aimed to investigate the electrically-evoked vestibulo-ocular reflex (eVOR) output after bilateral and unilateral vestibular deafferentations to determine the characteristics for interpreting unilateral lesions suc...
متن کاملAudiovestibular Function Deficits in Vestibular Schwannoma
Introduction. Vestibular schwannomas (VS) are benign tumours of the vestibular nerve and can lead to hearing loss, tinnitus, vertigo, facial palsy, and brainstem compression. Audiovestibular diagnostic tests are essential for detection and treatment planning. Methods. Medline was used to perform a systematic literature review with regard to how audiovestibular test parameters correlate with sym...
