Positional downbeat nystagmus (pDBN) represents a relatively frequent finding. Its possible peripheral origin has been widely ascertained. Nevertheless, distinguishing features of positional nystagmus, including latency, paroxysm and torsional components, may be missing, resulting in challenging differential diagnosis with central pDBN. Moreover, case benign paroxysmal vertigo (BPPV), detection the affected canal as involvement non-ampullary arm posterior semicircular (PSC) results same...
Background: The diagnosis of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) involving the lateral semicircular canal (LSC) is traditionally entrusted to supine head roll test, also known as yaw test (SHYT), which usually allows identification pathologic side and BPPV form (geotropic vs. apogeotropic). Nevertheless, SHYT may not always allow easy detection affected canal, resulting in similar responses on both sides intense autonomic symptoms patients with recent onset vertigo. newly introduced...
Objectives: Patients with acute respiratory failure due to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) have a high likelihood of needing prolonged intubation and may subsequently require tracheotomy. Indications timing for performing tracheotomy in patients affected by severe COVID-19 pneumonia are still elusive. The aim this study is analyze the role context pandemic. Moreover, we report procedure time needed complete weaning decannulation our center. Methods: This retrospective, observational...
Predicting hearing outcome in sudden sensorineural loss (SSNHL) is challenging, as well detecting the underlying pathomechanisms. SSNHL could be associated with vestibular damage since cochleo-vestibular structures share same vascularization, along being close anatomical proximity. Whereas viral inflammations and autoimmune/vascular disorders most likely represent involved aetiologies, early-stage Menière's disease (MD) can also present SSNHL. Since an early treatment beneficially influence...
Objective Thyroid surgery may lead to postoperative complications. The aim of this paper was determine whether the rate hypoparathyroidism (HPT) is influenced by staged. Design Single-institution retrospective observational study. Methods clinical records 786 patients treated at Otolaryngology Unit Azienda USL-IRCCS di Reggio Emilia between January 1990 and December 2015 were reviewed. Patients divided into two groups according surgical treatment received: group TT (637 patients, 81.04%)...
We describe a rare case of posterior semicircular canal (PSC) fibrosis following acute labyrinthine ischemia in the territory supplied by common cochlear artery (CCA) and review relevant literature. A 71-year-old man with multiple vascular risk factors presented 12 days after onset vertigo profound left-sided hearing loss. Right-beating spontaneous nystagmus downbeat components elicited mastoid vibrations headshaking was detected. The video head impulse test (vHIT) revealed an isolated...
Congenital cytomegalovirus (cCMV) infection is the leading cause of non-hereditary sensorineural hearing loss in children. While about 10% children reportedly display symptoms at birth, 85-90% cCMV cases are asymptomatic. However, 10-15% these asymptomatic infants may later develop hearing, visual, or neurodevelopmental impairments. This study aimed to evaluate impact on newborns' function with a particular emphasis progressive and late-onset cases.This retrospective chart analysis...
The aim of this study was to report the rationale and selection criteria for hemithyroidectomy ipsilateral central neck dissection in patients with selected papillary thyroid cancer surgical oncological outcomes.Single-institution retrospective observational study.The clinical records a histopathological diagnosis low-risk pT1 who underwent or without between March 2000 April 2018 at tertiary referral center were retrospectively reviewed. Demographic, clinical, data collected.During period,...
We describe a rare case of spontaneous upbeat nystagmus (UBN) attributable to canalith jam involving the anterior semicircular canal (ASC) in patient whom comprehensive vestibular assessment was useful identify underlying pathomechanism. A 56-year-old woman with unsteadiness following repositioning procedures for left-sided benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) presented UBN that showed slight right torsional components. test battery detected isolated left ASC hypofunction on...
