Ménière's disease (endolymphatic hydrops, endolymphatic edema) is a disease of the inner ear caused by an increase in the amount of endolymph (a dropsy labyrinth) and manifested by periodic attacks of systemic dizziness, noise in the ears, progressive hearing loss by the neurosensory type.
Otoskleroz (otosposgio) - a disease of the body deafness, caused by a focal pathological process in the bone maze, often leading to the fixation of the base of the stapes in the window of the vestibule, manifested by progressive, usually bilateral, hearing loss and tinnitus.
With acute sensorineural hearing loss, the most important goal is the restoration of the auditory function. Achieving this goal is possible only with the beginning of treatment in the shortest possible time.
With acquired sensorineural hearing loss, most patients do not have any precursors of the disease. In some cases, hearing loss may be preceded by the appearance of noise or ringing in the ears.
In patients with sensorineural hearing loss, complaints of hearing loss on one or both ears, which is often accompanied by subjective noise in the ear (ears), always come first.
Infectious nature accounts for about 30% of neurosensory deafness and deafness. In the first place are viral infections - influenza, mumps, measles, rubella, herpes, followed by epidemic cerebrospinal meningitis, syphilis, scarlet fever and typhus.
Sensorineural hearing loss (sensorineural hearing loss, perceptual hearing loss, cochlear neuritis) is a form of hearing loss in which any of the parts of the sound-sensing part of the auditory analyzer is affected, from the sensory cells of the inner ear to the cortical representation in the temporal lobe of the cerebral cortex.
There are three clinical forms of otogenic sepsis: septicemia, septicopyemia and bacterial shock. A characteristic symptom of sepsis is hectic fever accompanied by chills followed by a torrential sweat. Such sharp ups and downs of temperature during the day can be several, so the temperature of the chela is measured every 4 hours.
Abscess - a cavity filled with pus and delimited from surrounding tissues and organs by a pyogenic membrane. By the time of occurrence, the abscesses are divided into early and late ones. To late carry abscesses, formed later 3 months.
Otogenny diffuse purulent meningitis (leptomeningitis) - inflammation of the soft and arachnoid shells of the brain with the formation of purulent exudate and increased intracranial pressure.
