慢性酒精中毒常伴有眼震等症象,可有意识障碍和运动失调以及众所周知的Wernicke氏综合征(老年性精神病态)。但文献中有关平衡障碍的报道很少,本文就耳神经学所见报告于下,以期对今后治疗和劳动鉴定方面有所帮助。检查对象为每日饮酒量按日本计量相当于2合以上(1合约等于0.18公升),且诊断为慢性酒精中毒而住精神科,戒酒3个月以上的成年男性,共29名。检查前1周停服可能影响平衡机能的向精神药。检查项目有一般神经系检查,耳鼻咽喉科检查,血液学和肝功,纯音听力和各种平衡功能及前庭检查。 Chronic alcoholism is often accompanied by nystagmus and other signs and disorders and motor disorders, as well as the well-known Wernicke’s syndrome (senile psychosis). However, there are few reports on the balance disorders in the literature. The report of the study on otological neurology is presented in this paper with a view to aiding the future treatment and labor appraisal. A total of 29 adult men were enrolled in this study. Their daily drinking amount was equivalent to two or more in Japan (1 contract equals 0.18 liters), and adults diagnosed as having chronic alcoholism and living in psychiatric patients and drinking alcohol for more than 3 months were examined. Check the week before stopping taking may affect the balance function to the psychotropic drugs. Examination items are general neurological examination, otolaryngology examination, hematology and liver function, pure tone hearing and a variety of balance functions and vestibular examination.
