Article Synopsis
- This study investigates dizziness in individuals who have suffered head injuries and differentiates between those with central vestibular dysfunction (CVD) and those with post-traumatic peripheral vestibular issues.
- The research retrospectively analyzed data from a neurotology database covering head-injured workers, including detailed medical histories, audiovestibular tests, and imaging studies.
- Results showed that while CVD is rare, it often involves significant symptoms like persistent imbalance and eye movement abnormalities, suggesting more severe brain injuries, which were not always detectable on scans.
Objective: To evaluate the benefit of vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT) in the management of patients with idiopathic cerebellar ataxia with bilateral vestibulopathy (iCABV).
Background: iCABV is a hindbrain degenerative disorder with impairment of both central and peripheral vestibular pathways. There is combined failure of four compensatory eye movement systems including the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR), optokinetic reflex, smooth pursuit and the visually enhanced vestibulo-ocular reflex (VVOR).
