Drop attack (DA) associated with Ménière's disease (MD) and delayed endolymphatic hydrops (DEH) is not common and may cause life-threatening clinical problems. The intratympanic dexamethasone (ITD) is one of primary treatments for MD or DEH. Our study investigated the effect of ITD on the DA
OBJECTIVE
1. Evaluate the otolithic membrane in patients with endolymphatic hydrops (EH) and vestibular drop attacks (VDA) undergoing ablative labyrinthectomy. 2. Correlate intraoperative findings to archival temporal bone specimens of patients with EH.
METHODS
Retrospective case
A 61-year-old woman presented to the emergency department after experiencing palpitations, shortness of breath, and syncope while taking a shower. Her husband revived her with mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. She had had a similar episode three days earlier while making her bed and had lost
Sympathetic Crashing Acute Pulmonary Edema (SCAPE), or flash pulmonary edema, is the extreme end of the acute pulmonary edema spectrum. A sympathetic surge occurs as a result of decreased systemic perfusion resulting in further increases in afterload, causing the patient to decompensate. Patients
Although syncope and nephrotic syndrome are frequently encountered independently in pediatric practice, syncope as the initial symptom for nephrotic syndrome is rarely observed in the pediatric age group. In this report, we present the case of 3-year-old boy with nephrotic syndrome who presented
Syncope is defined as a transient loss of consciousness and postural tone, characterized by rapid onset, short duration, and spontaneous recovery. Stellate ganglion block (SGB) is a nerve block method that is used for treatment of neuropathic pain in the head, neck and upper extremities, especially
A 48-year-old man presented with recurrent syncope which was preceded by facial edema and difficulty in breathing. Physical examination, laboratory tests, abdominal CT and bone scan were all within normal limits. Bone marrow biopsy was consistent with mastocytosis. Systemic mastocytosis consists of
We report the case of a 47-year-old man who was admitted because of syncope. Upon hospital admission, he rapidly developed circulatory shock with generalized edema and a severe hemoconcentration with a hematocrit of 70%. The condition was stabilized with infusion of 17 l of cristalloid fluids over a
The patient presented with syncope, without chest pain and dyspnea. There was no peripheral edema or nervous system signs. The electrocardiogram (ECG) showed QT-interval prolongation with T-wave inversion in anterior and inferior leads. T-wave inversion in the right-sided precordial leads should
