Surgical treatment of a thoracoabdominal aneurysm in Cogan's syndrome.

30 Oct 2009 Cogan's syndrome is a rare systemic disease which occurs predominantly in children and young adults. It was originally described as the combination of interstitial keratitis and audiovestibular disturbance. The nonspecific symptoms of the patients ... Read more...

Vestibular asymmetry as the cause of idiopathic scoliosis: a possible answer from Xenopus.

5 Oct 2009 Human idiopathic scoliosis is characterized by severe deformations of the spine and skeleton. The occurrence of vestibular-related deficits in these patients is well established but it is unclear whether a vestibular pathology is the common cause ... Read more...

The video head impulse test: diagnostic accuracy in peripheral vestibulopathy.

4 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: The head impulse test (HIT) is a useful bedside test to identify peripheral vestibular deficits. However, such a deficit of the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) may not be diagnosed because corrective saccades cannot always be detected by ... Read more...
