Persistent labyrinthine symptoms may manifest as unsteadiness veering or frank rotational vertigo. When these symptoms are resistant to medical therapy and are associated with hearing in the involved ear which is not of a serviceable level, then a transmastoid labyrinthectomy may be of value in ridding the individual of this disability. We have found that this operation may be performed expeditiously and safely; and if the entire vestibular epithelium is removed, the results of surgery are effective and predictable.
持续性迷路症状可能表现为步态不稳、偏向或明显的旋转性眩晕。当这些症状对药物治疗无效,且患侧耳听力处于无实用价值水平时,经乳突迷路切除术可能有助于消除患者的这种残疾状况。我们发现该手术可以迅速且安全地进行;并且如果切除整个前庭上皮,手术效果是有效且可预测的。
