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. ...

Introduction: Vestibular abnormalities are common problems in the whole world, which can lead to bilateral vestibular dysfunction (BVD). That results in symptoms, such as vertigo, unsteadiness, falling, oscillopsia, and lower quality of life. The Objective of this study was to determine BVD in adults and elderlies with vertigo and unsteadiness.   Materials and Methods: This study was conducted ...

background chronic vestibular dysfunction is a frustrating problem in the elderly and can have a tremendous impact on their life, but only a few studies are available. vestibular rehabilitation therapy (vrt) is an important therapeutic option for the neuro-otologist in treating patients with significant balance deficits. objectives the purpose of this study was to assess the effect of vestibula...

OBJECTIVE The value of vestibular rehabilitation in patients with bilateral vestibular dysfunction was investigated. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study assessed 17 patients (9 males, 8 females) with bilateral vestibular dysfunction. Vestibular rehabilitation continued for 1.5 months. Videonystagmography tests (including oculomotor testing, positional testing, and caloric tests), vestibular evok...

Objectives: Apert syndrome affects the craniofacial structures resulting in craniosynostosis, craniofacial anomalies and syndactyly. Although many characteristic features are recognized, vestibular dysfunction is a little known feature that can often be present. This can cause a delay in the attainment of gross motor milestones and impair motor function. We aimed to examine this cohort to revie...

A customised vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT) programme is an important treatment modality in patients with vestibular dysfunction resulting in motion-provoked vertigo, oscillopsia (gaze instability), disequilibrium and gait disturbances. We discuss in this paper the patient selection criteria for VRT, rehabilitation strategies for unilateral and bilateral vestibular deficits, and some o...

The electronystagmographical analysis of the eye movements is an important method in the evaluation and topical diagnostic procedure of several vestibular lesions. The aim of the study was to compare the electronystagmographical results of the optokinetic and the smooth pursuit eye-movement, and their sensitivity in several vestibular disorders. The patients were divided into five groups: right...

HYPOTHESIS That disease or dysfunction of vestibular end organs in human patients will reduce or eliminate the contribution of the affected end organs to the total eye-movement response to DC surface galvanic vestibular stimulation (GVS). BACKGROUND It was assumed that DC GVS (at current of 5 mA) stimulates all vestibular end organs, an assumption that is strongly supported by physiological e...
