title: [Hyperlipidemia in patients with inner ear disturbances].
abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate the occurrence of hyperlipidemia in patients suffering from vertigo, and/or tinnitus and/or hearing loss of unknown origin. 48 patients (25 women and 23 men) were included into this study. All patients had a negative previous medical history of any metabolic, cardiovascular or neurological disorders. Our results were compared to the control group of 31 healthy persons (16 women and 15 men). All subjects had a complete neurootologic examination, appropriate audiometric and vestibular studies. In biochemical evaluation lipid phenotype studies were performed. Hyperlipidemia were classified according to Friedricson criteria. There were some differences in lipid phenotype and severity of hyperlipidemia between this two group.
