[Cochleo-vestibular attacks of viral origin].

The viral etiology of some cochlear or vestibular lesions is well documented. Concerning the cochlear congenital lesions, the cytomegalovirus is becoming the main etiologic factor, while the rubella vaccination has shown its efficiency in the United States. The acquired hearing or vestibular diseases were briefly reviewed as well as the pathology and their therapeutic considerations.

[The problems of electronystagmography in the clinical diagnosis of vestibular diseases (author's transl)].

The aim of a documentation in electronystagmography, that is to record as complete and definite as possible the information of a nystagmus relative to all its distinctive marks, hitherto has been reached just as little as the attempt, to develop a fine-quantitative investigatory method suitable for standardization for medical practice. The sources of error caused by the equipment and of physiological nature within a recorded nystagmus trace are exposed and illustrated by respective examples. Outgoing from the theory of the rotatory nystagmus based on the rotation test of the human vestibular system the fundamentels are developed for a complete evaluation method of an electronystagmogram including the elimination of artefacts by the authors' own research work in this field. However the pointed out problems of the electronystagmography are not yet answered in the clinical diagnostic of vestibular diseases, the systematic examination of spontaneous nystagmus and provoked nystagmus still represents the most important, most profitable and well-grounded part of the vestibular investigation in the medical practice.

[Compensatory processes during unilateral loss of vestibular function].

Changes in the compensation of the sequences of the unilateral loss of the labyrinthine function were studied in rabbits. Destruction of the labyrinth was accompanied by ocular nystagmus, increase of frequency of respiration and heart contractions, and EEG-activation. Investigations carried out showed these reactions to be extinguished at different time. At the late periods of labyrinthectomy a considerable asymmetry of nystagmus reaction to the angular accelerations equal in intensity, but opposite in direction was revealed. Stimulation of an intact otolith labyrinth was accompanied by the appearance of positional nystagmus. The results obtained indicated imperfection of the compensatory mechanisms during complete unilateral loss of the vestibular function.

[Bilateral deafness due to the local use of framycetin (author's transl)].

A case is reported of total bilateral cochleo-vestibular destruction following instillation of Framycetin into the middle ear, under pressure, through a transtympanic drain. Toxicity of Framycetin after local use is exceptional and only one case, reported by Ransome, was found in the published literature. The interest of this observation is that, by using puncture of the foot of the stapes, it was possible to find Framycetin in the perilymphatic liquid three weeks after the injection of the product.

The rationale and technique of head exercises in the treatment of vertigo.

The central compensation mechanisms for vertigo resulting from vestibular lesions are described together with the scientific basis for head exercises in vestibular rehabilitation. The indications and contra-indications for head exercises are discussed and the Cawthorne-Cooksey regime of exercises illustrated.
