Selective damage of the vestibular apparatus following toxic effects of streptomycin.

摘要

A wide range of drags cause functional damage to or cellular degeneration of the inner ear tissues, particularly at the receptors and neural cells of the VIII cranial nerve.1 Moreover, the toxic effects of gentamicin and streptomycin on the vestibular apparatus have found clinical application in suppressing the labyrinth in Meniere's disease refractory to conservative medical treatment.
