23. Stories From People With Vestibular Disorders Many publications affirm that experience of vestibular disorders. A collectionof personal stories about the horrors of vestibular disorders http://www.balance-and-dizziness.com/danusha.htm

Danusha's Page Hi. My name is Danusha, and I have been diagnosed as having a vestibular disorder. I'm posting my story here to communicate how profound an impact such a diagnosis can have. Many get a diagnosis of Meniere's disease, perilymph fistula, or other vestibular disorder, have a few dizzy spells, and, eventually, get back on track. Many publications affirm that experience of vestibular disorders. For some of us, though, vestibular disorders prove catastrophic. They disrupt our lives and make it necessary for us to make extraordinary demands on social services, health care professionals, and loved ones. Often these significant others are confused and overwhelmed. They have no idea of vestibular disorders. Well-meaning people in power, such as Social Security officials, might suggest to us that our diagnosis is no big thing, and, that if we aren't working as we used to, we are probably malingerers, or hypochondriacs. Often we ourselves have no idea that our experience is not unique. Again and again, those receiving a new diagnosis ask, "I experience a lessened ability to concentrate." "I get terrible headaches." "I can't walk down tile hallways with sharp patterns." "Am I normal? Am I a malingerer? Am I a hypochondriac and am I imagining these symptoms? Am I the only one?"

Central vestibular disorders Intracranial complication of otitic infections Abscesses in the extradural or subdural spaces and those in the temporal lobe and cerebellum can cause vestibular complaints, as can a suppurative process in the apex of the petrous bone. [1] VASCULAR DISORDERS Abnormalities of blood flow to the vestibular system are very common causes of vestibular symptoms and are often difficult to distinguish from well-known end organ disorders. Migraine Etiology Migraine headache results from dilatation of extracranial and dural arteries, causing stretching of sensitive pain fibers in the walls of the arteries, the symptoms of the aura reflect ischemia secondary to intracerebral. Serotonin is implicated in the pathogenesis of these phenomena.[2] In order to elicit the appropriate history for a migraine the following must be asked: 1. scotomata, or blind spots 2. teichopsia, or fortification spectra, a zigzag pattern in the visual field 3. flashing (photopsia) or colored lights 4. paresthesia.

Peripheral vestibular disorders Definition Vertigo is the hallucination of movement, either of self (subjective) or the environment (objective). History A minimum vertigo history should address the following: 1. the duration of the individual attack, that is, hours versus days 2. frequency, that is, daily versus monthly 3. the effect of head movements, that is, worse, better, or no effect 4. inducing position or posture, for example, rolling onto the right side in bed 5. associated aural symptoms such as hearing loss and tinnitus 6. concomitant or prior ear disease and/or ear surgery.[1-3] Vertigo duration One of the most important features of the pattern of presentation of peripheral vestibular disorders is the duration of vertigo. Based on this parameter, a classification of vestibular conditions can be attempted. 1. Vertigo lasting minutes to hours a. Idiopathic endolymphatic hydrops (meniere's disease) b. Secondary endolymphatic hydrops (1) Otic syphilis (2) Delayed endolymphatic hydrops (3) Cogan's disease (4) Recurrent vestibulopathy 2. Vertigo lasting seconds

var sectionName='clinical_info'; The Balance Control System Prevalence/Patient Populations Dizziness/Disequilibrium Falling in the Elderly ... Computerized Dynamic Posturography VESTIBULAR DISORDERS Clinical Information : Vestibular Disorders An estimated 20% of the general population is affected by a vestibular disorder. At least half of the overall United States population is affected by a balance or vestibular disorder sometime during their lives. Approximately 15 out of every 1000 individuals consult their family physician each year with complaints of vertigo, dizziness, or imbalance; half the individuals over the age of 65 will develop positional vertigo. Of all falls suffered by the elderly, 50% are reported to be the result of vestibular problems. In approximately 15% of vestibular patients, the cause cannot be recognized. Traditional vestibular function tests fail to establish a localizing diagnosis that can account for a patient's symptoms in a reported 30% to 50% of cases. Inner ear problems may not be amenable to surgical treatment, and pharmacological treatment of these conditions with vestibular suppressants often retards the recovery process. Vestibular dysfunction is a prominent part of balance disorders, particularly in the elderly, and is a significant source of morbidity.

var sectionName='clinical_info'; The Balance Control System Prevalence/Patient Populations Vestibular Disorders Neurologic Disorders ... Computerized Dynamic Posturography VESTIBULAR DISORDERS Clinical Information : Vestibular Disorders Vestibular Assessment and Rehabilitation With more than half the US population affected by balance or vestibular disorders at some point in their lives , the need for effective diagnostic and treatment approaches is clear. Unfortunately, diagnosis and treatment of balance disorders that do not quickly resolve on their own has historically been difficult due to the complex, multifactoral nature of the problems. Balance control is a complex process that depends on appropriate organization of information from the gaze stabilization and postural stabilization systems, and coordinated responses of the voluntary and automatic motor systems. Dizziness and imbalance can be caused by disruptions in any one of these systems, or in the adaptive brain mechanisms that coordinate the actions of these systems. Vestibular system integrity is important in the balance control process, but it is only one factor in the evaluation of balance function. Even when specific vestibular pathology is identified, the diagnostic and treatment planning process is incomplete, as the patient’s status may be further complicated by problems in other sensory or motor systems, or problems in the brain’s adaptive functions. "The first task of the practitioner, therefore, is to determine whether the problem is sensory, integrative, or motor in nature" (Goebel).

VESTIBULAR DISORDERS HISTORY Vertigo, strictly defined, refers to an hallucination of movement. When the symptom complex is of spinning or rotation, the cause is almost always the inner ear or peripheral vestibular system. Although it is true that some patients experience a definite sense of environmental spin or self-rotation, the majority do not present solely with true spinning vertigo. The most common complaint is one of dizziness , a term that represents a variety of symptoms (Table 1): TABLE 1. Symptoms encompassed by the term, dizziness Vertigo Bouncing Unsteadiness Falling Imbalance Swimming Spinning Staggering Floating Weaving Fainting Moving Lightheadedness Passing out Swaying Tilting Twisting Listing Blurry vision Rocking Disorientation Oscillating Poor equilibrium Rolling The examiner should elicit an exact description of what the patient is experiencing. Is it a spinning sensation that could be characterized as vertigo, pointing to the peripheral vestibular apparatus? Is it a sensation of falling without rotation? Is it a sensation of unsteadiness or imbalance? Is there a particular direction in which the patient tends to fall? When the patient's complaint is actually of incoordination or clumsiness, the cause may be cerebellar dysfunction or peripheral neuropathy. When the symptom complex is of "lightheadedness" or "swimmy-headedness," the examiner should think of presyncope or syncope and consider systemic factors such as postural hypotension, vasodepressor syncope, or cardiac arrhythmia.

The emphasis here will be on medical and to a lesser extent, surgical treatment of peripheral vestibular dysfunction and vertigo. Medical Treatment Therapy is outlined for symptomatic treatment of dizziness presumed to be of peripheral origin (Table 7): TABLE 7. Medical therapy of vertigo Class Dose* Antihistamines Meclizine 25-50 mg 3 times/day Cyclizin 50 mg 1 - 2 times/day 50 mg 1 - 2 times/day Promethazine 25 - 50 mg/day Anticholinergics Scopolamine** 1 three times/day Scopolamine tablets 0.45 - 0.50 mg 1 - 2 times/day Scopolamine transdermal 1 /3 days Sympathomimetics Ephedrine 25 mg/day Antiemetics Trimethobenzamide 250 mg 1 - 2 times/day orally 200 mg suppository Promethazine 25 - 50 mg/day 5 - 10 mg 3 - 4 times/day orally 25 mg suppository Tranquilizers Diazepam 5 - 10 mg 1 - 3 times/day Serax 10 - 60 mg/day Haloperidol*** 0.5 - 1 mg 1 - 2 times/day Calcium Channel Blockers Verapamil 80 mg 1 -3 times/day Combination preparations and others Scopolamine with ephedrine Scopolamine with promethazine Ephedrine with promethazine Buclazine Cyclandelate Diuretics Diet *Usual adult starting dose, can be increased by factor of 2 to 3. The most common side effect is drowsiness.

Vestibular Disorders By Attorney Gordon S. Johnson, Jr. Brain Injury Law Group The Vestibular System is the remarkably sensitive system which is responsible for the bodies sense of motion, and its ability to keep its balance and focus the eyes, in response to that sense of motion. As it is so complex and so sensitive, it is also easily disrupted, both by disease processes and trauma. The focus of this page is injury to the head and brain caused by the wrongful or negligent conduct of others.Thus, many diseases which effect the inner ear and the rest of the vestibular system are outside the direct focus of this page Click here for a listing of the numerous disease and associated health conditions, that can cause dysfunction of the vestibular system. Where we are aware of resources with respect to those conditions, we have provided links to help. Vestibular disorders involve a disturbing paradox in our experience with brain injured individuals: - Despite the fact that dizziness , nausea and vertigo are perhaps the most common of symptoms after a head injury;
