A clinical study of sudden deafness

Conclusions: Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss (SSHL) was commonly seen in middle aged people. Tinnitus was reported by 87.2% of the patients, and dizziness or vertigo were reported by 48.5%. The most common concomitant disorder of SSHL was hyperlipidemia. Objective: A retrospective register study with SSHL was performed in Xi’an, China, from 2000–2009. Results: Of 617 inpatients, the right ear was affected in 267 cases, the left ears in 282 cases, and both ears in 68 cases. The most common age of patients was 41–50 years. There were 20.4% SSHL patients with hypertension, coronary artery disease, or diabetes, and 49.6% patients with hyperlipidemia. Auditory Brainstem Responses (ABR) were performed in 460 patients (504 ears) before treatment, and the ABR threshold of 56.4% ears was > 90 dB. The constituent ratio of patients with an ABR threshold over 90 dB was greater in the vertigo group than the other group. CT and/or MRI scans were available in 277 cases, of which 40 cases (14.4%) were abnormal.

前半规管良性阵发性位置性眩晕患者的诊断和 治疗分析

目的:探讨前半规管良性阵发性位置性眩晕(anterior canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo,AC-BPPV)患者的眼震和管型受累特征。方法:回顾性收集AC-BPPV患者20例的临床资料,在眼震视图下行Dix-Hallpike试验,根据其眼震特征对其诊断,并采用Yacovino法对其进行手法复位治疗。结果:①本组20例患者中,左侧前半规管受累10例(50.0%),右侧前半规管受累5例(25.0%),侧别不能明确判定者5例(25.0%)。②眼震特征:Dix-Hallpike试验:单侧下跳性眼震11例(55.0%),单侧下跳伴扭转性眼震1例(5.0%),双侧下跳性眼震5例(25.0%),一侧下跳、另一侧下跳伴扭转性眼震2例(10.0%),双侧扭转伴下跳性眼震1例(5.0%)。坐起时出现眼震逆转5例(25.0%)。③Yacovino手法复位:首次手法复位治愈12例(60.0%),有效7例(35.0%),无效1例(5.0%)。1周后复查痊愈15例(75.0%),有效4例(20.0%),无效1例(5.0%)。结论:AC-BPPV患者在Dix-Hallpike试验中诱发出的眼震多样,单侧多见。多数为下跳眼震不伴有扭转成分,部分患者双侧Dix-Hallpike试验均能诱发出眼震;Yacovino法手法复位治疗常常效果较好。

Association of benign recurrent vertigo and migraine in 208 patients

The aim of this study was to determine the association of benign recurrent vertigo (BRV) and migraine, using standardized questionnaire-based interview of 208 patients with BRV recruited through a University Neurotology clinic. Of 208 patients with BRV, 180 (87%) met the International Classification of Headache Disorders 2004 criteria for migraine: 112 migraine with aura (62%) and 68 without aura (38%). Twenty-eight (13%) did not meet criteria for migraine. Among patients with migraine, 70% experienced headache, one or more auras, photophobia, or auditory symptoms with some or all of their vertigo attacks, meeting the criteria for definite migrainous vertigo. Thirty per cent never experienced migraine symptoms concurrent with vertigo attacks. These met criteria for probable migrainous vertigo. Among patients without migraine, 21% experienced either photophobia or auditory symptoms with some or all of their vertigo attacks; 79% experienced only isolated vertigo. The age of onset and duration of vertigo attacks did not differ significantly between patients with (34 ± 1.2 years) and patients without migraine (31 ± 3.0 years). In patients with migraine, the age of onset of migraine headache preceded the onset of vertigo attacks by an average of 14 years and aura preceded vertigo by 8 years. The most frequent duration of vertigo attacks was between 1 h and 1 day. Benign recurrent vertigo is highly associated with migraine, but a high proportion of patients with BRV and migraine never have migraine symptoms during their vertigo attacks. Other features such as age of onset and duration of vertigo are similar between patients with or without migraine.     

加减益气聪明汤治疗脑动脉粥样硬化的临床观察

目的 观察加减益气聪明汤治疗脑动脉粥样硬化的临床疗效.方法 将脑动脉粥样硬化属气血亏虚型患者60倒,随机分为两组,治疗组30例运用加减益气聪明汤治疗,对照组30例运用银杏叶片治疗.治疗28 d后观察并比较两组患者总体临床疗 效、治疗前后头晕等级改善程度.结果 治疗组与对照组总有效率差异无统计学意义(93.3％ vs 90.0％,P＞0.05),但治疗组头晕改善程度明显优于对照组(P＜0.05).结论 加减益气聪明汤治疗脑动脉硬化所致眩晕近期疗效确切.     

经颅多谱勒超声在位置性缺血性眩晕中的应用

目的:探讨经颅多谱勒超声(TCD)在颈椎病(椎动脉型)所致位置性缺血性眩晕中的诊断价值.方法:利用TCD对颈椎病所致位置性缺血性眩晕76例患者进行双侧大脑后动脉(PCA)的平均血流速度分析,并结合转颈试验,探测双侧PCA平均血流速的动态变化情况.结果:颈椎病所致位置性缺血性眩晕患者当头侧向转动时,双侧PCA的平均血流速度暂时性降低,当头转回中立位时,平均血流速度逐渐回升.结论:TCD有助于识别位置性眩晕中的真性位置性缺血患者,是一种无创、简便、价廉、可靠,并可床旁操作和提供实时动态血流动力学资料的重要检查方法.
