The aim of the paper was evaluation of behaviour of the balance system in patients with clinical otospongiosis and after stapedectomy. The investigation was carried out in 131 otosclerotic patients. Before and post operation vertigo was noticed and the spontaneous nystagmus, positional nystagmus and directional preponderance in kinetic test were examined in ENG. Vertigo and objective symptoms of disturbance of the vestibular function were found in clinical otospongiosis, but postoperative subjective and objective symptoms were more frequently.

D014717	Vertigo	An illusion of movement, either of the external world revolving around the individual or of the individual revolving in space. Vertigo may be associated with disorders of the inner ear (EAR, INNER); VESTIBULAR NERVE; BRAINSTEM; or CEREBRAL CORTEX. Lesions in the TEMPORAL LOBE and PARIETAL LOBE may be associated with FOCAL SEIZURES that may feature vertigo as an ictal manifestation.
