Comparison between neurological and neuro-otological findings in cases of brain tumor

Abstract

Pathological findings in equilibrium tests were compared with neurological tests in 27 patients with brain tumor, who visited our neuro-otological clinic.
Appearance rate of abnormal findings in neuro-otological tests was higher than in neurological examination.
Pathological findings obtained by neuro-otological tests, must be followed up by further neurological examinations except for special findings which have high diagnostic value, such as, convergence nystagmus, gaze palsy, MLF syndrome, etc.
To determine the site, size and pathology of brain tumor, all results obtained by neuro-otological, neuro-logical, radiological examination and other findings in laboratory tests should be evaluated.
