Quality of life in patients after vestibular Schwannoma surgery
Hajná, Barbora ; Čakrt, Ondřej (advisor) ; Chovanec, Martin (referee)
TVestibular schwannoma is a benign tumor that arises from the Schwann cells of the vestibular nerve. Unilateral hearing loss, tinnitus, facial and trigeminal dysfunction and vertigo are the most common symptoms. Surgical removal of the tumor is one of the treatment modalities of this disease. Surgical excision usually involves the complete vestibular nerve resection and there is also a risk of cochlear and facial nerve lesion. This thesis deals with changes in quality of life in patients after vestibular schwannoma sugery, which are associated with balance deficits, tinnitus and facial palsy.
The influence of unilateral vestibular dysfunction on spatial orientation in patients after vestibular schwannoma surgery
Šponarová, Lenka ; Chovanec, Martin (referee) ; Čakrt, Ondřej (advisor)
The aim of this diploma thesis is to evaluate spatial orientation in the patients after vestibular schwannoma surgery. In the theoretical part, there are summarized the facts about vestibular system; there is described the clinical picture of unilateral vestibular dysfunction and the field of vestibular schwannoma and spatial orientation in general. In the practical part, we performed the investigation of the spatial orientation using the Blue Velvet Arena System and posturography using the platform Balance Master® System. The purpose of the practical part was to find out, whether unilateral vestibular dysfunction in patients after vestibular schwannoma surgery has the impact on spatial orientation and to what extent is the postural stability influenced in patients identified for surgery and in patients after vestibular schwannoma surgery.
