- Dizziness
Description Labyrinthitis is characterized by dizziness or feelings of motion sickness caused by disturbance of the sense of balance. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]
Dizziness and Vertigo When you're dizzy, you may feel lightheaded, woozy, or disoriented. If you feel like you or the room are spinning, you have vertigo. These feelings may make you lose your balance. Dizziness can have many different causes. [icdlist.com]
With this book at hand, many more doctors will approach their next dizzy patient with confidence. [books.google.de]
The Ayurvedic treatment of inner ear dizziness involves controlling the symptoms of the dizziness and preventing the recurrence of the condition. [home-remedies-for-you.com]
Others have chronic dizziness if the virus has damaged the vestibular nerve. [vestibular.org]
- Nystagmus
Defining nystagmus Nystagmus is the involuntary, rapid and repeated movement of the eyes. [bpac.org.nz]
Symptoms of purulent labyrinthitis include Severe vertigo and nystagmus Nausea and vomiting Tinnitus Varying degrees of hearing loss Pain and fever are common. [merckmanuals.com]
Short-lived, positional, fatiguable vertigo; associated N/V O/E: single head position can precipitate vertigo, horizontal nystagmus Describe the presentation of serous labyrinthitis. [quizlet.com]
Typical signs of the disease in the first hours are marked noise in the ear, spontaneous nystagmus in the direction of a patient ear, and in the following you receive the full deafness on the patient side and spontaneous nystagmus already in the healthy [medicalency.com]
Her nystagmus was classified as third degree as it intensified in frequency with left lateral gaze in the direction of the fast phase of the nystagmus consistent with Alexander's law but was also present on neutral and right lateral gaze [ 8 ]. [ashdin.com]

Acute disease-specific treatment • Treatment with corticosteroids • Treatment with methylprednisolone (22-day tapering dose schedule) significantly improved vestibular function at 12-month follow-up compared with placebo. • Treatment with prednisone(1 [de.slideshare.net]
Prognosis
The usefullness of the rotation chair test to predict the prognosis of sensorineural hearing loss in labyrinthitis was also discussed. [e-rvs.org]
It is important to the clinician to distinguish between cochlear involvement, non-cochlear involvement, or both as prognosis is determined by response to cochlear implantation. [neuroradiologyonthenet.blogspot.com]
In cases of suppurative labyrinthitis or reparative granuloma extending into the vestibule, prognosis is usually poor, despite aggressive medical therapy or revision surgery. [karger.com]
Prognosis Most patients with labyrinthitis recover completely, although it often takes five to six weeks for the vertigo to disappear completely and the patient's hearing to return to normal. In a few cases the hearing loss is permanent. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]
Prognosis : -hearing loss, facial weakness and vertigo usually improve, over several weeks. [ent.com.au]
Etiology
Regardless etiology, LO pathogenesis involves an acute initial stage, with the presence of bacteria and leucocytes often in the perilymphatic spaces. [arquivosdeorl.org.br]
Etiology and Pathophysiology Acute inflammation and damage to the labyrinth, involving both the vestibular apparatus and cochlea. [unboundmedicine.com]
Inflammation has a variety of potential causes, and therefore there are mulitple potential etiologies in the differential diagnosis of labyrinthitis. [docneuro.com]
There are many possible causes, but infection (viral or bacterial) and subsequent inflammation of the inner ear is felt to be the most common etiology (see Differential Diagnosis). [tipsdiscover.com]
Pathology Labyrinthitis can be divided according to etiology. [radiopaedia.org]

INTRODUCION • Labyrinthitis- Inflammation of inner ear • Epidemiology- 40 % of vertigo and disequiliberium, 1 in 10,000 people • Etiology Usually caused by a virus, but it can also arise from bacterial infection, head injury, extreme stress, an allergy [de.slideshare.net]
Epidemiology Data is lacking for labyrinthitis alone. [unboundmedicine.com]
Causative viruses and bacteria Little direct evidence suggests a viral cause for labyrinthitis; however, a wealth of epidemiologic evidence implicates a number of viruses as potentially causing inflammation of the labyrinth. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Epidemiology Predominant age: Rare in children; most common in middle age (30–60 years old) Predominant sex: Male = Female Incidence Suppurative or serous labyrinthitis secondary to otitis media is increasingly rare in post-antibiotic era; exact incidence [tipsdiscover.com]

New insights into the pathology and pathophysiology of meningitis-associated hearing loss have come from animal models of bacterial meningitis. Most likely, bacteria reach the cochlea through the cochlear aquaeduct. [link.springer.com]
Vascular ischemic causes Pathophysiology: Anatomically labyrinth is composed of an outer osseous framework surrounding the delicate membranous labyrinth which contains the peripheral end organs of hearing and balance. [sites.google.com]
Etiology and Pathophysiology Acute inflammation and damage to the labyrinth, involving both the vestibular apparatus and cochlea. [unboundmedicine.com]
The anatomic relationships of the labyrinth, middle ear, mastoid, and subarachnoid space are essential to understanding the pathophysiology of labyrinthitis. [emedicine.medscape.com]
