Evaluation of Patient History:
Symptom Identification: A detailed inquiry into symptoms such as dizziness, imbalance, vertigo, tinnitus, and hearing loss.Onset and Duration of Symptoms: Examination of when the symptoms started, their duration, triggers, and intensity.Medication and Medical History: Evaluation of the patient’s current and past medications, chronic diseases, previous infections, or traumas.Physical Examination:
Examination of Eye Movements: Assessment for nystagmus (involuntary eye movements), which may indicate a disorder in the central or peripheral vestibular system. Head Rotation Tests: Observation of eye movements when the head is turned in various directions. These tests can help detect asymmetries in the vestibular system. Dix-Hallpike Maneuver: A test performed when positional vertigo (e.g., benign paroxysmal positional vertigo – BPPV) is suspected. It checks for vertigo and nystagmus when the patient’s head is positioned in specific ways.Vestibular Tests:
VNG (Videonystagmography): Evaluation of balance functions of the inner ear and central nervous system by monitoring eye movements. VEMP (Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potentials): Measurement of the contraction response of the sternocleidomastoid muscle with auditory stimuli. This test assesses the saccule (a part of the inner ear) and vestibulospinal reflex pathways.Caloric Test: Evaluation of the vestibular system function in both ears by applying cold and warm water or air to the inner ear.Posturography: A test measuring how balance is maintained in static and dynamic states. It evaluates the balance system while the patient stands on various surfaces.Hearing Tests:
Audiometry: A test that evaluates hearing levels and can detect hearing loss, which may be associated with vestibular problems. Tympanometry: Measures middle ear pressure, assessing the mobility of the eardrum and middle ear function.Imaging Techniques:
MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) or CT (Computed Tomography): Used to examine structures such as the inner ear, brainstem, and cerebellum in detail.Treatment Plan Development:
Rehabilitation Programs: Vestibular rehabilitation may include physical therapies and exercises to help patients manage balance issues. Medication Therapy: Medications may be prescribed to alleviate symptoms or treat the underlying cause.Surgical Intervention: In severe cases, surgical interventions may be required.Vestibular clinical assessment helps identify the source of an individual’s balance problems and enables the determination of appropriate treatment options.I found Dr. Mustafa as a result of my research and went to him with the complaint of lack of ventilation of the Eustachian tube and decreased hearing. I had had surgery on the ear many times before, so he looked at my nose and said that there was a curvature in the nasal bone and a serious devaluation. If we correct it, it would benefit the ear and it would help me breathe in the future. So we did the surgery. We decided to be together, now I'm getting some fresh air and my hearing has improved a little, he said I'll be better, may God bless him, his communication and friendliness was very good, I'm glad to have you. my teacher
Hello, I have had a Vertigo disorder that has not gone away for three years. I reached out to our esteemed teacher Mustafa Deniz upon his advice. Thanks to the medications he gave as a result of the maneuvers and examinations he made, I have not had any dizziness for 4 months. Thank you very much to our esteemed teacher and his teammates, I am glad to have you, best regards.
If you are reading this article right now, you are in search of information like us. For this reason, I will tell our story in a little detail so that maybe it will be of some help to you. My daughter is 3 years old, we take her to our pediatrician regularly and when necessary. Our adventure started with nasal congestion. I am talking about a congestion that does not go away even though we constantly open it. Afterwards, mouth opening and snoring. When we asked our pediatrician about this situation, he referred us to Mustafa Hodja. After the examination of the adenoid size, He said it was 90%. We heard the sentence we didn't want: 'There should be surgery.' You'll be right, as a mother, I didn't want to have a young child undergo surgery right away. I even shared the situation with my pediatrician. He said, 'If Mustafa Hodja says, get it done, he won't say it easily. Make an appointment right away. We created the surgery and two days later, my baby had surgery. The only difficult thing about this surgery was waiting outside while your child was inside. Apart from that, everything was very planned and professional. The evening we came home, my baby was not snoring. He slept and we were incredibly surprised by this situation. We did not experience any negative situation. I would like to express our endless gratitude to Mustafa Hodja once again. Ms. Ayşegül, who did the programming, guided us very well. I am glad our paths crossed. Sleep without snoring, may the children be happy❤️
I went to the doctor with a complaint of symptom perforation. He said that he could easily close it after the examination. I had my surgery in April 2024. He also performed deviation and nose tip aesthetics. My priority was, of course, to repair the perforation. Thank God, the hole closed and I also had a beautiful nose. My recovery process is still ongoing, it was a long and difficult surgery, but I can breathe healthy. During this process, Ms. Ayşegül was always just a phone call away. I also thank him very much for his interest.
I applied to my doctor with the complaint of septal perforation. I had surgery. It has been 5 months since my surgery and I am seriously relieved. Thank you very much to my doctor and his team...
Septal perforation Due to a nose surgery I had years ago, there were 2 huge holes and no cartilage was left in the nose. I could breathe very hard because all the cartilage in my nose had worn away. I did a lot of research and consulted many doctors. They said it was a very risky surgery, they said we couldn't do it. I tried a lot, I researched a lot, and lastly, Mustafa Deniz. I met my doctor Yilmaz, I found his clinic and went to be examined, he said that it was a risky surgery but he could do it. Actually, I had some fears, but after the examination, he made me overcome that fear. I had septal performance and plastic surgery. It took about 11 hours. It took 4 months. I got excellent results. The holes in my nose were closed, with the cartilage taken from the rib. My nose has become more beautiful again than before. I can breathe very easily. I would like to thank my teacher Mustafa very much. He is a very good teacher, I think he is the best in this field.
I repaired the hole in my nose painlessly and regained my health very quickly, thanks to our teacher. Thank you again.
We left Van and came to Antalya for my teacher Mustafa Deniz Yılmaz. He was very friendly and helped us a lot, he took one-on-one attention. My surgery was very difficult. I was diagnosed with septal perforation (hole in the nose). Many doctors we went to said that it was difficult and there were only a few people who did it, and Mustafa He directed me to my marine instructor. He took very good care of me and performed my surgery successfully. Thank you very much to him and his team. I'm glad to have you.
Dear Sir, First of all, I would like to thank you. At first we used it for 5-6 hours, then I used it for 1.2 hours, no problem, thank you.
I took my mother, who was treated for vertigo in various hospitals for almost two months but could not get any results. As a result of detailed examination and tests performed by audiologists, Mustafa determined that she had balance nerve inflammation. The treatment, which was expected to last 4 weeks, was completed in almost 2 weeks, accompanied by expert audiologists. His condition is very good, he returned to his normal life, thank you to everyone who contributed 🙏🏻
First of all, I would like to express my endless gratitude to my marine instructor and all his staff. After a long wandering, I found my marine instructor upon his recommendation. He solved my dizziness problem that disrupted the entire routine of my life. May God bless you. REGARDS.
