- Turmarkin otolithic crisis is a rare feature of Meniere’s disease. It shows sudden
falling to the ground with no warning sign. It is an otologic emergency because
of the risk of falling, and it has traditionally been treated with labyrinthectomy
or vestibular neurectomy. We experienced a 49-year-old male suffering from
recurrent drop attack, and found that he had hearing loss, tinnitus or recurrent
vertigo on his left ear, and could make a diagnosis him as Tumarkin otolithic
crisis. We have performed the endolymphatic sac decompression, considering the
hearing preservation and therapeutic opinion of patients. Two years after surgery,
he showed intermittent, mild dizzy symptoms, without further drop attack.
Therefore, we report our clinical experience with a brief review of literature.

Abstract
- Neurovascular cross-compression of the eighth cranial nerve is characterized by brief attacks of vertigo, unilateral audiologic symptoms such as tinnitus, ear fullness and hearing disturbance and relatively rare disease, in particular, in children. We report a 7-year-old female patient who presented with recurrent spontaneous vertigo, lasting 15 seconds and occuring up to 40 times per day and often associated with physical activity. Her symptoms were developed by hyperventilation. Associated aural symptoms are not founded. Magnetic resonance image showed the eighth cranial nerve compression caused by the vascular loop. She was treated with oxcarbazepine and showed improving symptoms. Therefore we report our clinical experience with a brief review of literature.

Abstract
- Background and Objectives: It is necessary to establish the most efficient diagnostic and therapeutic method for benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), which is appropriate for Korean healthcare system. We aimed to evaluate current state of Korean clinician’s diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for BPPV. Materials and Methods: A 16-item survey was emailed to the members of dizziness department of Otology Research Interest Group in the Korean Otologic Society (n=68). 43 were returned and analyzed. Results: All respondents (100%) used Dix-Hallpike test as a diagnostic tool for vertical canal-BPPV. Supine roll test was used for diagnosing lateral canal BPPV in nearly all the respondents (97.7%). Epley maneuver was chosen as otolith repositioning maneuver (ORM) for posterior canal BPPV in all respondents and barbecue rotation (BBQ) was used for treating lateral canal BPPV with geotropic nystagmus in 95.3% of respondents. Extreme variation was noted for therapeutic approach of lateral canal BPPV with ageotropic nystagmus BBQ, with 4 kinds of ORM and adjunctive measures to liberate otolith from cupula, while BBQ was again the most commonly used ORM (76.7%). Conclusion: The development of practical and efficient ORM for lateral canal BPPV with ageotropic nystagmus is necessary.

Abstract

- Vestibular neuritis is generally thought to be caused by a viral or postviral inflammatory disorder of vestibular structures. But there is no definite evidence to explain this pathophysiological mechanism until now. We experienced an unusual case of 34-year-old man who presented with facial paralysis several days after vertigo of a whirling nature. We report a case of facial palsy developed in succession of ipsilateral vestibular neuritis involving superior vestibular nerve which may infer the viral pathophysiology for the vestibular neuritis with a brief literature review.

Abstract

- Acute hypotension induced excitation of electrical activities and expression of c-Fos protein and pERK in the vestibular nuclei. In this study, to investigate the excitatory signaling pathway in the vestibular nuclei following acute hypotension, expression of NR2A and NR2B subunits of glutamate NMDA receptor and GluR1 subunit of glutamate AMPA receptor was determined by RT-PCR and Western blotting in the medial vestibular nucleus 30 min after acute hypotension in rats. Acute hypotension increased expression of NR2A, NR2B, and pGluR1 in the medial vestibular nuclei. These results suggest that both of NMDA and AMPA glutamate receptors take part in transmission of excitatory afferent signals following acute hypotension.
