[Relations between vasculotensional disease, sudden deafness and benign paroxysmal postural vertigo: value of anticochlear antibodies].
Some vasculotensional diseases may be associated, at a certain point of their evolution, with occurrences of sudden deafness or of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. It seems that the efficiency of the treatments of sudden deafness and benign paroxysmal positional vertigo is not modified by those associations of pathologies. On the other side, the search for anticochlear antibodies gives a positive result in 45% of the vasculotensional diseases. When the vasculotensional disease is associated with sudden deafness, this percentage increases. On the contrary, it is lower when the vasculotensional disease is associated with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. The presence of anticochlear antibodies may lead to a corticotherapy in case of failure of the classical treatments.
