Vyšetření vestibulárního systému u roztroušené sklerózy

Cílem sdělení je stručně seznámit čtenáře s využitím neurootologických elektrofyziologických metod v diferenciální diagnostice roztroušené sklerózy. Jedná se o chronické invalidizující onemocnění charakterizované mnohočetnými ložisky demyelinizace v bílé hmotě centrálního nervového systému. Projevem postižení rovnovážného systému v rámci onemocnění je vertigo. Z uvedeného přehledu vyplývá, že nejužitečnější informace u pacientů s vertigem podávají dynamická posturografie a elektronystagmografie.

Klíčová slova:
roztroušená skleróza, vertigo, kmenové sluchové evokované potenciály, dynamická posturografie, elektronystagmografie.

Overview

The aim of the review is to provide a comprehensive actual overview of the current approach to the use of neurootologic electrophysiological methods in diagnostic process of multiple sclerosis. Chronic and debilitating forms of the disease are characterized by multiple areas of focal demyelinization that develop throughout the white matter of the central nervous system. The manifestation of the affection of the balance system is dizziness. The data suggest that dynamic posturography and electronystagmography can provide useful diagnostic information in patients with balance disturbances.

Key words:
multiple sclerosis, dizziness, brainstem electric response audiometry, dynamic posturography, electronystagmography.
