The authors have studied four cases of vestibular neuronitis. General and special ENT exploration were performed and repeated every month. The observation period was three months. ABR and ENG were used for evaluation. The cochlear part of the VIII cranial nerve ist affected without subjective clinical expression. So the patients were diagnosed as having vestibular neuronitis.

Among a population of 200 children, suffering by dizziness that we examined in the ENT department of the G. Gaslini Institute of Genoa, we acquired and checked, through the statistical analysis, the data of an air caloric test (according to the standard stimulation method) performed in 20 children (resulted normal to neurological, ophtalmological and audiovestibuler examinations which included audiometry, tympanometry, spontaneous, positional and positioning nystagmus research, OKN and caloric tests) and subdivided into 10 s sequences. The statistical analysis of the results obtained showed the following: (1) in both cold and warm air caloric test, the response can be obtained already in the stimulation phase, requiring ENG recording to start at the beginning of stimulation; (2) even in children, response culmination occurs in a period ranging from 60 to 90 s from stimulation onset; therefore the Visual Suppression Test should be performed in this period to obtain more significant data; (3) in cold and warm test, considering SSCs, the response is constant and intense up to 130 and 110 s, respectively, from beginning of ENG recording. After these time ranges, the response is less intense and homogeneous, becoming poor and variable. In our opinion, this allows suspension of recording immediately after these periods without the risk of the excluding significant aspects of the response.

Vascular compression syndrome is the term used to classify a group of conditions though to be caused by the compression of cranial nerve by vessel. In the most cases the contact of vascular loop formed by the anterior inferior cerebellar artery (AICA) with the eight and facial nerve correlated with unilateral auditory symptoms or hemifacial spasms. The vascular compression syndrome of vestibulocochlear nerve in 8 patients treated in I ENT Clinic of Silesian Academy and MRI Department in Katowice was observed. All patients were otologic findings such as a tone audiometry, ENG, ABR and radiological diagnostics included MRI and angio MRI. The prospective analysis was performed. The results suggest that the unilateral sensorineural hearing loss, tinnitus, vestibular disorders and positive findings on magnetic resonance imaging are the most reliable evidence for the presence neurovascular compression syndrome of the eight cranial nerve. The MRI and otologic studies provided quite detailed information about topography of relationship between the blood vessels and cranial nerves in the crebellopontine cistern.

A near localization of anatomical structures of an inner ear and possibility of damage caused by the same etiopathogenic factor implies that sensorineural hearing loss may be accompanied by vertigo and dizziness. The aim of a study was to evaluate a frequency of vestibular system dysfunction in patients with sensorineural hearing loss and to analyse it according to severity and type of the hearing loss. We evaluated a group of 126 persons which were treated in ENT Department during the last year from sensorineural hearing loss. In all subjects' audiological and ENG examinations were performed. A 50% of patients complained of vertigo and 30% of them--of dizziness. Abnormal ENG recordings were registered in 72% of persons especially in positional and visual ocular-motor tests. In the group without vertigo incorrect ENG tests were often recorded. In the group with vertigo the peripheral and mixed lesions in ENG examination were noted statistically more frequent. We found lack of correlation between magnitude and type of hearing loss and vestibular impairment. Only in the group-residual hearing/deafness were observed significantly more frequent peripheral vestibular dysfunction.
