[Neurootological findings in multiple sclerosis (author's transl)].

After clinical examination of 104 patients with multiple sclerosis sensory-motor dysfunctions of the extremities turned out to be the predominant symptoms. Hypacusis, tinnitus and dizziness were mentioned by less than 15% of the patients. The investigation of the vestibular system showed often an enhanced caloric reaction and dysfunctions of the optokinetic mystagmus as well as the eye tracking test. Moreover the threshold for temperature and gustatory sensations was often enhanced. Hypacusis was found only in a few patients, in less than 30% the SISI and the tone decay test indicated neuronal dysfunctions.
