Neuroimaging markers of Mal de Debarquement Syndrome MdDS Foundation 12:01 am 3.21.2021 Neuroimaging markers of Mal de Debarquement Syndrome Abstract Mal de débarquement syndrome (MdDS) is a motion-induced disorder of oscillating vertigo that persists after the motion has ceased. The neuroimaging characteristics of the MdDS brain state have been investigated with studies on brain metabolism, structure, functional connectivity, and measurements of synchronicity. Baseline metabolism and resting-state functional connectivity studies indicate that a limbic focus […] Read More
The Mal de Débarquement Syndrome MdDS Foundation 12:01 am 10.2.2019 The Mal de Débarquement Syndrome Abstractin English, French The Mal de Débarquement Syndrome (MdDS) is characterized by a persistent (> 1 month) sensation of self-motion, most of the time initially motion-triggered (i.e. boat, car, airplane travel). The symptoms are markedly diminished during a new exposure to passive motion. Female are more often affected. The vestibular functional assessment and cerebral imaging […] Read More
Scuba diving and otology: a systematic review with recommendations on diagnosis, treatment and post-operative care MdDS Foundation 12:01 am 6.1.2017 Scuba diving and otology: a systematic review with recommendations on diagnosis, treatment and post-operative care Abstract Scuba diving is a popular recreational and professional activity with inherent risks. Complications related to barotrauma and decompression illness can pose significant morbidity to a diver’s hearing and balance systems. The majority of diverelated injuries affect the head and neck, particularly the outer, middle and inner ear. Given the high incidence of otologic complications […] Read More
Mal de débarquement syndrome MdDS Foundation 12:01 am 9.13.2016 Mal de débarquement syndrome Abstract Mal de débarquement syndrome (MdDS) is typified by a prolonged rocking sensation – for a month or longer – that begins immediately following a lengthy exposure to motion. The provoking motion is usually a sea voyage. About 80% of MdDS sufferers are women, and most of them are middle-aged. MdDS patients are troubled by […] Read More

Mal de debarquement syndrome: a systematic review MdDS Foundation 12:01 am 11.11.2015 Mal de debarquement syndrome: a systematic review Abstract Mal de debarquement (MdD) is a subjective perception of self-motion after exposure to passive motion, in most cases sea travel, hence the name. Mal de debarquement occurs quite frequently in otherwise healthy individuals for a short period of time (several hours). However, in some people symptoms remain for a longer period of time or […] Read More
Mal de debarquement syndrome: a rare entity – a case report and review of the literature MdDS Foundation 12:01 am 8.5.2015 Mal de debarquement syndrome: a rare entity – a case report and review of the literature Abstract Mal de Debarquement Syndrome (MDS) is a rare, understudied, underdiagnosed, and self-limiting condition. Etiology and incidence are unknown. It is characterized by abnormal sensation of motion/balance reported after travel by air, land, and sea; being reexposed to motion/activity relieves it. Symptoms may last from minutes to years. Workup though required reveals no findings; it […] Read More
