Özet

BACKGROUND: Cognitive deficits have been defined in patients with bilateral and unilateral vestibular loss. OBJECTIVE: To investigate cognitive functions in patients with episodic vestibular disorders. METHODS: Nineteen patients with Meniere's disease (MD), 19 patients with vestibular migraine (VM) and 21 age and education matched healthy controls were studied. Mini Mental State Examination assessing global mental status, Reading Span Test and the Stroop Test evaluating working memory, cognitive processing, reading comprehension and attention, Trail Making Test and Benton's Judgment of Line Orientation Test investigating visual processing, visuospatial skills, processing speed were used. Beck depression and anxiety inventories were given to evaluate the emotional status. RESULTS: Cognitive test results of the MD and VM patients were not significantly different from the healthy controls (p > 0.05) as well as Beck depression scores (p = 0.14). Beck anxiety scores showed significant difference (p = 0.003). VM patients had significantly higher scores than the healthy controls (p = 0.002) on pairwise comparisons. The scores of the MD patients did not reach statistical significance (p = 0.15). CONCLUSION: Episodic vestibular disorders like MD and VM without inter-ictal vestibular deficits do not seem to be associated with cognitive impairment. Patients with VM have significantly higher anxiety scores than the healthy controls and MD patients.
