  • Title: [Cochleovestibular disorders in chronic alcoholics].
    Author: Zuev VA.
    Journal: Zh Nevropatol Psikhiatr Im S S Korsakova; 1984; 84(2):238-40. PubMed ID: 6608845.
    Abstract:
    Auditory and vestibular functions were studied in 85 chronic alcoholics (45 subjects with Stage II and 40 with Stage III alcoholism). In 54.1% of all cases, disorders in the auditory analyzer, predominantly at the site of the first neuron, were detected. It was revealed that following the progression of the disease to Stage III, auditory disturbances in such patients became more frequent and prominent. The study of the vestibular analyzer showed that the hyperreflexia of caloric and postrotatory nystagmus characteristic of the second stage of chronic alcoholism was replaced, at the next stage of disease, by normo- and hyporeflexia; there was also an increase in the changes of caloric nystagmus expressed in the form of rhythm disturbances.
