A cohort of 39 patients with confirmed raised intracranial pressure was investigated. Of these patients, 24 (62%) complained of tinnitus and 11 (28%) suffered from paroxysmal rotary vertigo. Intracranial hypertension can occur without the usual headache and visual symptoms. In such cases, the patient may be referred to the otolaryngological clinic and the condition may be mistaken for Menière's disease or a labyrinthine disorder. The Tympanic Membrane Displacement (TMD) technique now provides a non-invasive method of monitoring the intracranial and perilymphatic pressures. This study provides recommendations for the use of TMD techniques in the otolaryngological clinic for screening, diagnosing and monitoring treatment of patients presenting with raised perilymphatic pressure.
对39例确诊为颅内压升高的患者进行了调查。在这些患者中，24例（62%）主诉耳鸣，11例（28%）患有阵发性旋转性眩晕。颅内高压可能在没有常见的头痛和视觉症状的情况下发生。在这种情况下，患者可能会被转诊至耳鼻喉科诊所，病情可能会被误诊为梅尼埃病或迷路疾病。鼓膜移位（TMD）技术现在提供了一种监测颅内和外淋巴压力的非侵入性方法。本研究为在耳鼻喉科诊所使用TMD技术对出现外淋巴压力升高的患者进行筛查、诊断和治疗监测提供了建议。
