与其他年龄段相比，年轻人更有可能遭受爆炸伤和创伤性脑损伤（TBI）。本文回顾了文献前庭后果的冲击波暴露和创伤性脑损伤和震荡。此外，前庭测试结果从31退伍军人爆炸暴露和/或轻度TBI的历史。作者讨论了与头部损伤有关的水平半规管功能丧失和姿势不稳。初步数据表明，新的理论，耳石器官是唯一容易受到头部损伤和爆炸暴露。
Young adults are more likely to suffer blast injury and traumatic brain injury (TBI) than other age groups. This article reviews the literature on the vestibular consequences of blast exposure and TBI and concussion. In addition, the vestibular test findings obtained from 31 veterans with a history of blast exposure and/or mild TBI are presented. The authors discuss loss of horizontal semicircular canal function and postural instability related to head injury. Preliminary data suggest the novel theory that otolith organs are uniquely vulnerable to head injury and blast exposure.
