[The assessment results of patients with neurootological symptoms (author's transl)]

Neurootological symptoms in 710 patients were assessed by otorhinolaryngological examination, audiometry, vestibulometry, electroencephalography, echoencephalogram, ophthalmological and neurological examination, skull, temporal bone and cervical spine X-rays, electrocardiography, and lumbar puncture. Where abnormal findings occurred further assessments such as brain-scan, vertebral angiography, Xenon clearance and computerized axial tomography were done. Analysis of the case histories showed that there were 45 patients with organic lesions of the brain, 79 with cerebrovascular disease, 68 with postconcussional syndrome, 88 with cervical spine disease, 56 with the Menière syndrome, 36 with disturbed circulatory control, 141 with heretodegenerative hearing loss, acoustic trauma, Bell's palsy or psychosomatic vertigo, and 97 patients who could not be classified. These large numbers of serious problems confirms that it necessary to thoroughly investigate as described patients with neurootological symptoms.
