Exploring the frontiers of vestibular migraine: A case series.

Introduction: Patients with episodic vestibular syndrome (EVS) whose symptoms resemble those of vestibular migraine (VM) but who do not meet the criteria for it are common.

Objective: To describe those patients suffering from EVS in whom defined etiologies have been ruled out in order to determine if their symptoms can be linked to VM.

Material And Methods: Prospective multicenter study.

Cervical spine radiographs in patients with vertigo and dizziness.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of cervical radiography in the study of patients with vertigo and dizziness.

Patients: This is a retrospective single-institution case series study of 493 patients suffering from vertigo and dizziness who were referred (from January 2011 to December 2012) to the hospital to study those symptoms.

Methods: We studied cervical radiographies, CT and MRI of the cervical spine made in the sample and the radiological findings.

Vertigo and dizziness in hospital: Attendance, flow and characteristics of patients.

Introduction And Objectives: Vertigo and dizziness as symptoms are frequent in the population. They are present in a wide range of pathologies and it is usually difficult to make an accurate diagnosis. The general objective of this study is to obtain the information to evaluate vertigo and dizziness in the hospital setting.

Relationship between video head impulse test (vHIT) and caloric test in patients with vestibular neuritis.

Introduction And Objectives: The caloric test is the gold standard for the loss of vestibular function diagnosis. The Video Head Impulse Test (vHIT) assesses the same reflex by using a video- assisted examination of the impulsive maneuver. We intend to compare the variation of results of the vHIT and the caloric test in patients with vestibular neuritis with respect to their initial condition at two different moments of their evolution and to check the level of correlation between them and with that of the DHI test

Methods: We explored 20 patients with neuritis by using both vHIT and the caloric test on the same day.

Epistaxis and dabigatran, a new non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulant.

Objective: Dabigatran is a new non-vitamin K antagonist (VKA) anticoagulant with anti-thrombin action, with supposedly fewer haemorrhagic complications. However, there are actually no established agents to reverse its effect, nor specific coagulation time tests for monitoring it.

Materials And Methods: An observational prospective study was developed, noting epidemiological, clinical and therapeutic features among subjects with epistaxis treated with dabigatran.

Neck lymphadenitis due to silicone granuloma after mammary implants.

Introduction: A foreign body reaction due to silicone where it is infiltrated or at the places to which it can migrate is known as siliconoma. The use of silicone in breast augmentation procedures can provoke this reaction at the neck level in cases of leakage from mammary implants.

Methods: We reviewed the cases of patients with increased size neck lymph nodes who had previously undergone plastic surgery of the breast with highly cohesive silicone gel implants.
