[Diagnostic and treatment possibilities in cochleovestibular syndromes].

Abstract

The cases of cochleovestibular syndromes admitted into the O.R.L. ward during one year are statistically processed. 81 cases of hypoacusis of perception and vertiginous syndromes were admitted between January 1 and December 31, 1987. 42 of them were males and 29 females. 31 were pure cochlear syndromes, 32 vestibular syndromes without affecting the cochlea, and 15 were cochleovestibular syndromes. The paper surveys the available ways of investigation, by which a topographic and etiologic diagnosis can be determined, within certain limits and an adequate treatment can be recommended.
