title: [Spontaneous and experimental vestibular activity following total removal of neurinomas of the auditory nerve].
abstract: Spontaneous and experimental vestibular activity in 84 patients after total resection of neurinomas of the acoustic nerve is analysed. In the immediate postoperative period the frequency of marked manifestations of spontaneous vestibular activity reduced sharply, but spontaneous nystagmus persisted in 97.5% of patients. In some patients spontaneous nystagmus to the side from which the tumor had been removed become more conspicuous. In the remote postoperative period spontaneous nystagmus was unilateral in 45.5% of patients, bilateral in 40.3%, and not recorded at all in 14.2% of patients. In the early postoperative period vestibular hyperreflexia was recorded in 93.7% of cases, in the remote period it was found in 76.6% of cases. Data obtained by comparing the results of caloric tests with cold and hot water in these patients are also analysed.
