不全型メニエール病患者における手掌冷温剌激による眼振解発とシエロンテストについて

抄録

As a causal condition of vertigenous attacks in Meniere's, the labile reaction of the autonomic nervous system has been considered to contribute a fundamental role.
To assess the close correlation between the autonomic nerve and vestibular system, a new thermal test of the hand immersed in water at 20°C and 45°C was employed as an autonomic stimulus to the patients with atypical Meniere's disease. Spontaneous nystagmus was elicited in 40 to 70% of the patients during stimulation. Only 20% of the same group showed normal values in Schellong's test.
These appears to be a complicated correlation between neural mechanisms and vegetative-somatoreactions.
