[The role of the otoneurological method in early diagnosis of multiple sclerosis].
Complete vestibulometric, audiological and otoneurological examinations were made in 48 patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). Central cochlear-vestibular syndrome was diagnosed in all the examinees. The otoneurological examination and comparison of changes in the acoustic and vestibular functions revealed specific symptoms characteristic for demyelinating disease of the central parts of the cochleovestibular analyzer. MR-tomography visualization of the demyelination foci in the brain confirmed affection of the cochleovestibular analyzer.
