Morphology and morphometry of the inner ear of the dromedary camel and their influence on the efficiency of hearing and equilibrium

open access: yesZoological Letters, 2022
Background The inner ear morphology and size are linked to hearing and balance ability. The goal of this study was to determine the morphology and morphometrics of the dromedary camel's inner ear and how it influences hearing accommodation and ...

Canal switch after canalith repositioning procedure for benign paroxysmal positional vertigo [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Canal switch is a complication following canalith repositioning procedure (CRP) for posterior canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). Instead of being returned to the utricle, the loose otoconia migrate into the superior or horizontal ...

A mathematical model for top-shelf vertigo: the role of sedimenting otoconia in BPPV [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) is a mechanical disorder of the vestibular system in which calcite particles called otoconia interfere with the mechanical functioning of the fluid-filled semicircular canals normally used to sense rotation ...

Congenital Dehiscence in the Posterior Semicircular Canal

open access: yesOtology & Neurotology, 2013
Posterior semicircular canal dehiscence (PSCD) may be of congenital origin.PSCD is characterized by the lack of bone coverage, which results in its lumen being exposed to the meninges of the posterior cranial fossa or to the gulf of the jugular vein. It has an incidence of 0.2%.

Assessment of semicircular canal function in benign paroxysmal positional vertigo using the video head impulse test and caloric test

open access: yesLaryngoscope Investigative Otolaryngology, 2023
Objective To assess semicircular canal function in benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) using the video head impulse test (vHIT) and caloric test. Methods We retrospectively reviewed 39 patients with idiopathic BPPV who underwent both vHIT and the

Development of a dynamic virtual reality model of the inner ear sensory system as a learning and demonstrating tool [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
In order to keep track of the position and motion of our body in space, nature has given us a fascinating and very ingenious organ, the inner ear. Each inner ear includes five biological sensors - three angular and two linear accelerometers - which ...
