【 摘 要 】
Neuro-otology and neuro-ophthalmology are clinical fields destined to be combined in a single interdisciplinary center that offers state-of-the-art diagnosis and treatment to patients with vertigo, dizziness, imbalance, eye movements disorders and disorders of the afferent visual pathways. This paper describes the organization of the Oto-Neuro-Ophthalmology (ONO) center at University Hospital Zurich, Switzerland. The ONO center combines physicians and other medical personnel from the departments of neurology, otorhinolaryngology, ophthalmology, and psychiatry as well as dedicated physical therapists. Patients, typically referred to the center by general practitioners or medical specialists, are comprehensively assessed and treated by considering all neurological, otological, ophthalmological, psychiatric and physiotherapeutic aspects of their disorders. Based on the referral, the patient is assigned to a triage examination (duration: 30 minutes; no later than 10 days after referral) or a full examination. The latter includes a complete assessment of the medical history, a bedside examination, a laboratory test battery and imaging procedures. Importantly, the ONO center is partnered by an experimental laboratory dedicated to vestibular and ocular motor research and formed by the academically active members of the ONO center. To justify the collaborative efforts that go into establishing and continuously upgrading an ONO center, outcome measures become increasingly important.
