Abstract

Objective: In this study, the presence of dizziness in the late period was investigated in patients working in the Armed Forces who were exposed to blast trauma with a test battery consisting of cervical and ocular vestibular-evoked myogenic potentials and the Dizziness Handicap Inventory.

Methods: Twenty-two healthy adult volunteers (44 healthy ears) and 25 military personnel (43 patient ears) who had blast trauma were included in the study. The cervical and ocular vestibular-evoked myogenic potential tests were applied to the control and patient groups. The patient group also filled in the Dizziness Handicap Inventory.

Results: The mean score of the Dizziness Handicap Inventory of the patient group was 14.80 ± 23.38. In cervical and ocular vestibular-evoked myogenic potential tests there was no significant difference in the comparison of P1 latency, N1 latency and P1N1 amplitude between control and patient groups.

Conclusion: It was observed that the functions of otolith organs were not affected in the late period after blast trauma.

爆炸创伤对前庭的长期影响。

目的：采用颈椎、眼前庭诱发肌电位和眩晕障碍量表组成的测试单元，对我军爆炸创伤患者的后期眩晕情况进行调查。方法：选取22例健康成人志愿者（44耳）和25例爆炸创伤军人（43耳）作为研究对象。对照组和患者分别进行颈、眼前庭诱发肌电位试验。患者组同时填写头晕障碍量表。结果：患者组头晕障碍量表平均得分为14.80±23.38分。在颈、眼前庭诱发肌电位试验中，对照组与患者的P1潜伏期、N1潜伏期和P1N1振幅比较无显著差异。结论：爆炸创伤后期耳石器官功能未受影响。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Laryngology & Otology (JLO) is a leading, monthly journal containing original scientific articles and clinical records in otology, rhinology, laryngology and related specialties. Founded in 1887, JLO is absorbing reading for ENT specialists and trainees. The journal has an international outlook with contributions from around the world, relevant to all specialists in this area regardless of the country in which they practise. JLO contains main articles (original, review and historical), case reports and short reports as well as radiology, pathology or oncology in focus, a selection of abstracts, book reviews, letters to the editor, general notes and calendar, operative surgery techniques, and occasional supplements. It is fully illustrated and has become a definitive reference source in this fast-moving subject area. Published monthly an annual subscription is excellent value for money. Included in the subscription is access to the JLO interactive web site with searchable abstract database of the journal archive back to 1887.
