CONCLUSIONS The present findings suggest that complete control of vertigo after endolymphatic sac decompression surgery (ESDS) does not always depend on improved vestibular function or reduced endolymphatic hydrops. Vertigo control is, however, associated with hearing stability. OBJECTIVE Among surgical treatments for intractable Meniere's disease, ESDS is performed to preserve and improve in...

Dizziness is a common clinical problem that is challenging to diagnose and treat. One of a subset of symptoms that fall under the encompassing term of dizziness is vertigo, which is the subjective experience of hallucination of movement, often associated with vestibular disorders. While dizziness has a broad range of causes, the association between vestibular disturbance, and its attendant vert...

Numerous studies have been published on comorbid anxiety and depression in patients with vertigo. However, very few studies have separately described and analyzed anxiety or depression in patients with different types of vestibular peripheral vertigo. The present study investigated anxiety and depression among patients with 4 different types of peripheral vertigo. A total of 129 patients with 4...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE vertigo is a common presenting symptom in ambulatory care settings, and stroke is its leading and most challenging concern. This study aimed to determine the risk of stroke in vertigo patients in a 4-year follow-up after hospitalization for acute isolated vertigo. METHODS the study cohorts consisted of all patients hospitalized with a principal diagnosis of vertigo (n=3...

BACKGROUND Dizziness is a frequent complaint of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD), and orthostatic hypotension (OH) is often thought to be the cause. We studied whether benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) could also be an explanation. AIM To assess the prevalence of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo in patients with Parkinson's disease, with and without dizziness. METHODS 30...

CONCLUSIONS It is probably not wise to demand a temporal relationship between migraine symptoms and vertigo for the definition of migrainous vertigo. When recurrent vertigo attacks begin at an early age in a patient with normal hearing and migraine, there are few diagnoses other than migraine that need to be considered. OBJECTIVE The clinical association between migraine and vestibular sympto...

Fifteen neuro-otological patients have been investigated for post-traumatic vertigo, hearing loss and tinnitus. Clinical examination and laboratory tests included audiometry and equilibriometry in all patients. Statistically significant findings are reported for tinnitus, vertigo, hearing loss. Correlations for vertigo with the type of head trauma, nystagmus frequency Slow Phase Velocity (SPV) ...

We have been clinically treating vertigo patients for the last 45 years. As is well-known, vertigo is not a simple otolaryngological disease. In fact, it is associated with various diseases in various clinical fields, including internal medicine, neurosurgery, and ophthalmology. As otolaryngologists, we have learned a few lessons from our experiences with patients having vertigo and in working ...

Vertigo is a common clinical manifestation in the emergency department (ED). It is important for physicians to determine if the peripheral cause of vertigo is benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), a disorder accounting for 20% of all vertigo cases. However, the Dix-Hallpike test--the standard for BPPV diagnosis--is not common in the ED setting. If no central origin of the vertigo is dete...
