The present review of the current literature concerning pathogenesis, formation of neurovascular conflict of the vestibulocochlear nerve, its epidemiology, clinical manifestations, diagnostics, and the methods for the surgical and conservative treatment is focused on the indications for decompression of the vestibulocochlear nerve and its effectiveness in the patients presenting with the neurovascular conflict of the vestibulocochlear nerve.

The refinement of neural circuits towards mature function is driven during development by patterned spontaneous calcium-dependent electrical activity. In the auditory system, this sensory-independent activity arises in the pre-hearing cochlea and regulates the survival and refinement of the auditory pathway. However, the origin and interplay of calcium signals during cochlear development is unknown in vivo.

Schwannomas (SCs) are benign tumors composed of neoplastic Schwann cells and are relatively uncommon intracranially. Although these tumors are frequently associated with neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2), they may also arise idiopathically, and their pathogenesis remains poorly understood. A 70-year-old Caucasian man presented with a two-month history of vertigo, gait imbalance, and decreased visual acuity in the left eye accompanied by photophobia, nausea, vomiting, and occasional headaches.

Profile-analysis experiments measure the ability to discriminate complex sounds based on patterns, or profiles, in their amplitude spectra. Studies of profile analysis have focused on normal-hearing listeners and target frequencies near 1 kHz. To provide more insight into underlying mechanisms, we studied profile analysis over a large target frequency range (0.

Vestibulopathy in Patients Presenting With Ramsay Hunt Syndrome.

Otol Neurotol Open

December 2024

Department of Head and Neck Surgery, Los Angeles, California.

Objectives: Ramsay Hunt syndrome (RHS) refers to a reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus in the distribution of the facial nerve, but it can involve other cranial nerves as well. In patients with polyneuropathy, the vestibulocochlear nerve is most involved after the facial nerve. The clinical manifestations and long-term vestibular outcomes in these patients remain unclear.

To explore the value of high resolution computed tomography(HRCT) combined with Magnetic Resonance Imaging(MRI) in the diagnosis of inner ear malformation. HRCT and MRI data of 82 patients with inner ear malformations were analyzed retrospectively. HRCT MPR and CPR reconstruction of the inner ear structure, facial nerve canal and oblique sagittal MRI reconstruction of the internal auditory canal were performed.
