MODERN DIAGNOSTIC METHODS FOR NYSTAGMUS IN MINER'S DISEASE

Аннотация

Morbus Menera or Meniere's disease is a rare disorder of the inner ear. According to scientific studies, it is characterized by a violation of the absorption of fluid in the middle ear and, as a result, the accumulation of a large amount of endolymph in it. Since the middle ear is covered with a skin membrane, the fluid can spread over its surface in a limited space. This leads to an increase in pressure in the middle ear and partial damage to the cochlea. As a side effect of Meniere's disease, patients sometimes experience nystagmus - the inability to focus their gaze on certain objects, which contributes to the violation of vestibular function. In the intervals between attacks, there are no symptoms of the disease, such as dizziness and balance. In addition, vegetative symptoms, such as tachycardia or excessive sweating, may occur.
