Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Otolaryngology
  • Vestibular Disorders

Background:

  • Intractable vertigo significantly impacts quality of life.
  • Various surgical procedures exist, but selective vestibular nerve section is highly effective.
  • Hearing preservation is a key consideration in vertigo treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report outcomes of posterior fossa vestibular neurectomy for intractable vertigo.
  • To evaluate vertigo control, hearing, and tinnitus post-surgery.
  • To propose a novel disability grading system for patients with vertigo.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective case series of 14 patients undergoing posterior fossa vestibular neurectomy.
  • Assessment of vertigo control using the American Academy of Ophthalmology and Otolaryngology (AAOO) 1972 reporting system.

  • Evaluation of hearing and tinnitus.
  • Development and discussion of a proposed disability grading system.

    • Main Results:

    • All 14 patients achieved complete vertigo control.
    • Hearing and tinnitus outcomes were assessed.
    • A need for a standardized disability classification system was identified.

    Conclusions:

    • Posterior fossa vestibular neurectomy is a highly effective treatment for intractable vertigo.
    • A new disability grading system is proposed to better classify patient outcomes.
    • Further research is needed to validate the proposed disability grading system.
