未经证实:耳硬化症是常见的耳科疾病之一。尚未完全了解前庭受累的机制和可能部位。本研究旨在对耳硬化症患者进行全面的前庭评估,与没有耳硬化症的病例相比。
未经评估:患者接受了全面的耳蜗前庭评估,包括测听法,眼和颈部前庭诱发肌源性电位(o-VEMP和c-VEMP),视频头脉冲(vHIT)和热量测试。将结果与非耳硬化症对照组的结果进行比较。
UNASSIGNED:共纳入61人,分为两组:病例组(50.82%)和对照组(49.18%)。结果表明,病例组和对照组的平均vHIT增益差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。然而,平均增益仍在正常范围内。此外,根据热量测试结果,耳硬化症患者具有显著的双侧或单侧弱点。此外,他们的o-VEMP和c-VEMP结果也显着异常(P<0.05)。
未经授权:根据本研究的结果,即使在无症状的情况下,前庭系统,受耳硬化症的影响。此外,耳石系统似乎有更高的参与机会,与半规管相比。

UNASSIGNED: Otosclerosis is one of the common otologic diseases. The mechanism and the probable site of vestibular involvement are not yet fully understood. The present study aimed to perform a comprehensive vestibular evaluation in patients with otosclerosis, compared to the cases without otosclerosis.
UNASSIGNED: patients underwent a comprehensive cochleovestibular evaluation, including audiometry, ocular and cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potential (o-VEMP and c-VEMP), video head impulse (vHIT) and caloric tests. The results were compared with those obtained from the non-otosclerosis control group.
UNASSIGNED: A total of 61 individuals were included in the study who were divided into two groups of the
case (50.82%) and control (49.18%). The results showed that there was a significant difference in the mean vHIT gain between the
case and control groups (P < 0.05). However, the mean gain was still within the normal range. Besides, the patients with otosclerosis had significant bilateral or unilateral weaknesses according to caloric test results. Moreover, their o-VEMP and c-VEMP results were significantly abnormal as well (P < 0.05).
UNASSIGNED: Based on the results of the present study, the vestibular system even in asymptomatic cases, is affected by otosclerosis. Furthermore, it seems that the otolithic system has a higher chance of involvement, compared to the semicircular canals.
