Abstract
Meniere’s disease is a clinical disorder first described by Prosper Meniere in 1861, characterized by fluctuating hearing loss, recurrent spontaneous episodic vertigo, tinnitus and aural fullness. Endolymphatic hydrops is the basic pathology in Meniere’s disease in which dilatation of the endolymphatic spaces of membranous labyrinth due to excessive endolymphatic fluid. Both Meniere’s disease and Meniere’s syndrome are believed to result from increased pressure within the endolymphatic system. However, Meniere’s disease is idiopathic, whereas Meniere’s syndrome occur secondary to various processes interfering with normal production or resorption of endolymph e.g. trauma, autoimmune dysfunction, medications and syphilis etc. In atypical Meniere’s disease patients will have some but not all the classical symptoms of Meniere’s disease1. Cochlear Meniere’s disease is recognized as a fluctuating sensorineural hearing loss and aural fullness in the absence of vestibular symptoms. Vestibular Meniere’s disease2 is characterized as episodic vertigo and disequilibrium associated with pressure in one or both ears.
