[From the expert opinion case book: cervical nystagmus following injury of the occipital joint].

A case submitted for expertising is presented. After a fall on the occiput with a fracture of the occipital bone the patient had a pathological cervical nystagmus (type II according to Moser). The subjective complaints grew better in course of months. It is attempted to interpret the cause of the persistent proprioceptive cervical nystagmus. The disappearance of cervical vertigo is explained as being due to habituation.

[Paralysis of the hypoglossal nerve after tonsillectomy? (author's transl)].

While injuries of the lingual nerve and the glossopharyngeal nerve in tonsillectomy are possible, a lesion of the hypoglossal nerve is not understandable because of its anatomical course. To see a connection between the lesion of the nerve and a tonsillectomy is probably due to a wrong anatomical concept or incorrect topographical figures. Seen from the oral cavity, the hypoglossal nerve lies behind the great arteries and has, in the region of the floor of the mouth, no direct connection with the tonsil. The medicolegal aspects are reported. Lesion of the hypoglossal nerve might be possible only in bronchoscopy or in direct laryngoscopy.

[Indications for tympanotomy in "sudden deafness" and round window membrane rupture (author's transl)].

An operative exploration of the middle ear should be undertaken when deafness ins complete, when vestibular signs are present and when the patient asks for immediate medical care. The closure of the round window with soft tissue or fascia graft should be done within an few days after the event of "sudden deafness". We do not use an infusion therapy or blockade of ganglion stellatum in these cases and those of head trauma, because we saw no hearing gain after later operative intervention.

[Psychogenic hearing loss (author's transl)].

The possible causes of psychogenic hearing loss and aggravating deafness are compared. The evaluation of anamnesis, speech reception thresholds, hearing threshold levels and recuitment tests, Békésy audiometry and simulation tests for the differential diagnosis is discussed. Therapeutical consequences are talked about. A case report will demonstrate in-debth how a minor noise-induced hearing loss due to having worked in a noisy environment for 25 years, was dominated by psychogenic hearing disorders of a considerable degree.
