Comparison of children with and without dyslexia using functional head impulse test and pediatric balance scale.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to compare functionality of vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) responses to evaluate the functional properties of the vestibular system and daily balance performance in children with dyslexia and children with normal development.

Method: Fifteen participants diagnosed with dyslexia were included in the study group (SG), and 15 healthy participants were included in the control group (CG). All groups underwent Functional Head Impulse Test (f-HIT) and Pediatric Balance Scale (PBS).

Perspectives of Emergency Physicians, Primary Care Physicians, and Otolaryngologists on the Diagnosis and Treatment of Acute Vertigo.

Purpose: This study aimed to explore the differences in diagnosis (Dix-Hallpike test; the head impulse, nystagmus, and the test of skew [HINTS] procedures; imaging modalities; and audiological battery) and treatment (pharmacological treatments and the Epley maneuver) of acute vertigo (AV) by examining the perspectives of otolaryngologists, emergency physicians (EPs), and primary care physicians (PCPs).

Method: A total of 123 physicians (otolaryngologists [ = 40], EPs [ = 41], PCPs [ = 42]) were included in this study. This study was conducted using an online questionnaire created in Google Forms.

Effectiveness of virtual reality-based vestibular rehabilitation in patients with peripheral vestibular hypofunction.

Background: The rehabilitation of classical peripheral vestibular disorders is long and costly. Recently, interactive systems based on virtual reality (VR) technology have reduced the cost of vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT) and made the process more enjoyable. This study aims to investigate the effects of VR-based VRT in patients diagnosed with peripheral vestibular hypofunction (PVH).

Role of Long-Term Vestibular Rehabilitation in a Patient with Posterior Fossa Tumor: A Case Report with 2 Years of Follow-Up.

BACKGROUND Lhermitte-Duclos disease (LDD) is caused by a rare slow-growing mass in the cerebellum. LDD generally is experienced by young adults, but also it has been encountered in the pediatric population. Lhermitte and Duclos first described cerebellar dysplastic gangliocytoma in 1920.
