Abstract

The article deals with the basic theories of maze and labyrinth hydrops, which are often used in clinical practice for its diagnosis according to the world literature. Tonal threshold, suprathreshold audiometry, broadband thympanometry, ultrasound tests, test for determination of lateralization of loud sounds, dehydration test, extra-timbanical electrocochleography, method of registration of evoked vestibular myogenic potentials, study of vestibular function (video pulse test, caloric sample), CT of temporal bones with gadolinium, MRI, and other methods are considered. None of these study methods gives an accurate confirmation of the presence of maze hydrops. Only taking into account the history, complaints of the patient, clinical manifestations of the disease and a comprehensive evaluation of the results of all the above methods of study can we speak with confidence about hydropse.
