Stimulation of the vestibular nerve
Clinical Otolaryngology and Allied Sciences, 1998Introduction. The aim of this study was the development of a simple galvanic stimulator for routine clinical use, which by stimulation of the vestibular nerve helps to discriminate between labyrinthine and retro-labyrinthine lesions, as well as to localise the side (left–right) of the retro-labyrinthine function loss. Patients and methods.

Vestibular Nerve in Meniere's Disease
Archives of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1980Biopsy specimens of vestibular nerves of 40 patients with severe Meniere's disease were studied by microscopy. In 17 patients, a translabyrinthine eighth nerve transection was done; in 23 patients, a middle fossa vestibular neurectomy was done. Many of the nerve fibers had thickened and deformed myelin coats; some were thinly myelinated fibers and some

Deafferentated vestibular nerve
Proceedings, annual meeting, Electron Microscopy Society of America, 1983Contrary to the cochlear branch of the VIIIth nerve, the vestibular branch does not degenerate quickly in the squirrel monkey after the end organs are surgically removed. This surgical procedure is favored by some investigators who advocate that removal of the vestibular receptors does eventually lead to the death of the nerve.

Retrolabyrinthine Section of the Vestibular Nerve
Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, 1984When symptoms of dizziness and episodic vertigo cannot be controlled through medical management or drainage procedures such as endolymphatic subarachnoid shunt operations, selective vestibular nerve section may be necessary. In the 1920s eighth cranial nerve sections were performed by neurosurgeons through the suboccipital approach but were frequently ...

Vestibular Nerve Compression in Eighth-Nerve Tumors
ORL, 1981The superior vestibular nerve was studied histologically in 25 patients who underwent removal of inferior vestibular nerve schwannoma. In most cases, the nerve fibers were structurally normal but the endoneurial space showed various degrees of capillary stasis and/or extravasation of red blood cells. Increased fibrosis of the endoneurial space was seen

Patterns of vestibular function following vestibular nerve section
The Laryngoscope, 1992AbstractBithermal caloric irrigations, low‐frequency rotational chair stimulation, and posturography were performed on 20 patients before and after vestibular nerve section. Twelve patients demonstrated acute postoperative spontaneous nystagmus and rotational vestibulo‐ocular reflex (VOR) asymmetry.

Morphology Of The Vestibular Nerve: I. Anatomical Studies Of The Vestibular Nerve In Man
Acta Oto-Laryngologica, 1973The intratemporal portion of the vestibular nerve in man has been studied with regard to its gross and topographical anatomy. The study includes a light microscope investigation of the vestibular ganglion and She preganglionic parts of the vestibular nerve.

MRI of the vestibular nerve after selective vestibular neurectomy
Acta Oto-Laryngologica, 2006In patients with Ménière's disease and persisting vertigo attacks after vestibular neurectomy (VNx) MRI of the vestibulocochlear nerve can identify residual vestibular nerve fibres that could be responsible for the vertigo attacks.To test if MRI of the vestibulocochlear nerve can corroborate the presence of residual vestibular nerve fibres in patients ...

Operative Techniques in Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, 2001
Vestibular nerve section has been a reliable method to control dizziness caused by Meniere's disease. The surgery can be performed with 3 different approaches. Although the middle fossa and retrolabyrinthine approaches are well described, most vestibular nerve sections are now performed with the retrosigmoid approach.

An Approach to the Vestibular Nerve in Chinchillas
Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, 2004Problem: Although there are many physiological and anatomic studies regarding the cochlear efferent system, its functional role in auditory processing is not fully understood. Sectioning of the vestibular nerve in chinchillas could thus create an experimental model for further in-depth study of this system. Methods: Eight adult male chinchillas were
