    Association Between Chronic Rhinosinusitis and The Vestibular System
    (Deomed Publ, Istanbul, 2019) Ila, Kadri; Soylemez, Emre; Yilmaz, Nihat; Eshraghi, Adrien A.
    Objective: Objective: Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is inflammation of the nasal mucosa and paranasal sinuses. Subjective complaint of dizziness can be observed in patients with CRS. However, a review of the literature did not reveal any prospective studies that have used videonystagmography (VNG) to examine the vestibular system of patients with CRS. The goal of this study is the evaluation of the vestibular system of CRS patients. Methods: The study comprised 30 patients with CRS and 30 control subjects. The vestibular system was evaluated through VNG. The association with vestibular function was evaluated according to the Lund-Mackay score, the Sino-Nasal Outcome Test-22 (SNOT-22) score, and the existence of nasal polyps. Results: Abnormal caloric test results were observed in eight (26.6%) of the 30 CRS patients. The caloric test results were normal for the control group. The oculomotor test results with VNG were normal for the CRS and control groups. The abnormal caloric results were higher for the CRS with nasal polyp patients than for the CRS without nasal polyp patients. The VNG showed no correlation among the SNOT-22 scores and the Lund-Mackay scores in patients with CRS. Conclusion: Abnormal caloric responses can be observed in patients with CRS with nasal polyps.

    Vestibular functions in patients with tinnitus only
    (Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2019) Ila, Kadri; Soylemez, Emre; Yilmaz, Nihat; Kayis, Seyit Ali; Eshraghi, Adrien A.
    Objective: Tinnitus is the perception of sound in the ears or head without any external or internal acoustic stimulation, and it is usually associated with hearing loss. In addition, it has been reported that there is a relationship between vestibular problems and sensorineural hearing loss. The aim of this study was to evaluate the vestibular function in patients with tinnitus without hearing loss. Methods: A total of 32 patients who complained only of tinnitus without hearing loss and 30 control subjects without tinnitus or hearing loss were included in this study. Oculomotor and caloric tests were performed on all subjects with videonystagmography. The tinnitus handicap inventory questionnaire, side and duration of tinnitus were recorded in all patients. Results: The caloric test was abnormal in 13 of 32 (40.6%) patients in the tinnitus group and was normal in all of the control group. Abnormal caloric responses in patients with severe tinnitus were more frequent than in patients with mild or moderate tinnitus. There was a statistically significant difference in the optokinetic gain values between the tinnitus and control groups. Conclusion: A relationship between tinnitus and abnormal caloric responses was determined. Tinnitus may be the first symptom of vestibular dysfunction.
