OBJECTIVE
We undertook a preliminary assessment of the efficacy of administering intravenous dexamethasone (DEX) for relieving the nausea and dizziness accompanying vestibular neuritis (VN).
METHODS
Between November 2013 and October 2014, 26 patients with VN were prospectively enrolled in this
: The acute vestibular syndrome is a clinically defined entity consisting of vertigo or dizziness that develops acutely over minutes to hours and is accompanied by nausea/vomiting, gait instability, head motion intolerance, and nystagmus, while persisting over a day or more. When it is caused by a
We reported two early-childhood cases suffering from acute optic neuritis (ON). Case 1 was a 3-year-old girl, who had a preceding upper respiratory infection, headache, nausea and subsequent sudden visual disturbance. Cranial MRI revealed multiple T2-elongated lesions in the white matter. She showed
Purpose: Pseudo-vestibular neuritis is a clinical diagnosis for patients presenting with acute vestibular syndrome due to a central pathology.Case report: We reported a case of multiple sclerosis characterized by pseudo-vestibular neuritis. Our case was a 32-year-old male patient. The
Autoantibodies targeting aquaporin 4 (AQP4) water channels are a sensitive and specific biomarker for neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD). Presence of AQP4 antibodies distinguishes NMOSD from multiple sclerosis. We present our experience with an anti-AQP4 antibody-positive patient
A 16-year-old girl was admitted to our hospital in August 23, 1986, for headache, nausea and low grade fever. Marked increases in immunoglobulin indices were found in the cerebrospinal fluid. When she was 13, she was diagnosed as having SLE and lupus nephritis. On September 9, 1986, she complained
Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) is a disease of central nervous system, characterized by demyelination and axonal damage mostly involving optic nerves and spinal cord. Usually these patients present with symptoms related to optic neuritis or myelitis with a typical relapsing course. Some patients present
Vestibular neuritis is characterized by the sudden onset of nausea, vomiting, and spontaneous horizontal or horizonto-rotatory nystagmus. The etiology of the disease is multifactorial. Mumps, rubella, herpes simplex virus type 1, cytomegalovirus, and Epstein-Barr virus may have a role in the
In a multicenter series of trials, viloxazine was compared with imipramine, amitriptyline, doxepin and placebo in 123 neurotic and endogenous depressive inpatients and outpatients. While significant period effects reflecting improvement were obtained on the majority of efficacy variables, no
Objective: Vestibular neuritis (VN) is characterized by acute onset of vertigo, nausea, and vomiting, without auditory or other neurological symptoms. Although the pathogenesis of VN is not yet clear, many studies have shown that a pro-inflammatory environment can lead to the induction and
Vestibular neuritis is a group of symptoms resulting from a sudden unilateral vestibular dysfunction. It seldom occurs in children (approximately 7%). Its etiology and pathogenesis are unknown, although most researchers consider viral infection to be a causative factor. The clinical symptoms appear
Neuritis vestibularis (NV) as a cause of vertigo is common among adults but very rare among children and is often underrecognized and underdiagnosed. Viral infection is suspected to be the most common cause and symptoms are sudden onset of vertigo, nausea, vomiting, impaired balance and horizontal
Neuromyelitis optica (Devic's disease) is a chronic autoimmune disease associated with the production of anti-bodies to aquaporin-4 (AQP4). Area postrema lesions is the third, after optic neuritis and myelitis, syndrome of opticomyelitis-related disorders. Clinical symptoms of this disorder include
BACKGROUND
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the role of intravenous dexamethasone in relieving the symptoms and signs of vestibular neuritis in the emergency department setting.
METHODS
This was a randomized, placebo-controlled, superiority, single-blind study. Patients were randomized
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the role of clinical parameters, MRI and ocular VEMP (oVEMP) and cervical VEMP (cVEMP) as predictors of development of chronic vestibular insufficiency after vestibular neuritis.
METHODS
Twenty-six patients with vestibular neuritis were included: 15 patients (58%) showed
