Neurovascular Compression Syndrome of the Eighth Cranial Nerve. What are the Most Reliable Diagnostic Signs?

Abstract: Forty-three surgical cases were retrospectively analyzed to establish diagnostic criteria and operative indications for vertigo and tinnitus due to neurovascular compression (NVC) of the eighth cranial nerve (8th N). Many NVC syndromes were mistakenly diagnosed as Ménière's disease or benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. NVC was confirmed in 31 of the 43 patients. Neurovascular decompression (NVD) resulted in complete recovery or marked improvement of subjective symptoms in all 19 cases with vertigo (100%), a… Show more

Pode-se concluir que, embora seja pouco freqüente, a PV pode ser facilmente diagnosticada através dos critérios específicos, e tratada adequa-damente com carbamazepina na maioria dos casos.…”

“…По данным разных авторов, среди диагностических методов при НВК VIII нерва наибольшую информатив-ность имеют калорическая проба, исследование слуховых вызванных потенциалов и МРТ [28,30]. При исследова-нии слуховых вызванных потенциалов имеет место откло-нение от нормы у 85% больных с васкулярной компресси-ей VIII нерва.…”
