Vertigo in postoperative follow-up of otosclerosis.
Causes of vertigo after otosclerosis surgery were studied postoperatively and in long-term follow-up examinations. Pressure and mobility changes in the posterior labyrinth fluids, enzymatic process, and decrease in blood supply at the time of operation appear to be the major causes. Methods of detection, avoiding, and managing vertigo are presented.
