OBJECTIVE To describe the development of a new clinically applicable method for assessing vestibular function in humans with particular application in Meniere's disease. STUDY DESIGN Sophisticated signal-processing techniques were applied to data from human subject undergoing tilts stimulating the otolith organs and semicircular canals. The most sensitive representatives of vestibular functio...

Considerable interest has developed in otology concerning the relationship between the vascular loop and compression of the eighth nerve, producing vertigo. Several authors have described the radiographic findings relative to the anatomy of these vascular loops. Few previous articles have dealt with cases that have had surgical confirmation or repair of the defect. Our presentation concerns 27 ...
