Abstract:

Ménierè disease (endolymphatic hydrops) is defined as episodic attacks of tinnitus, hearing loss, aural fullness, and vertigo lasting minutes to hours. The majority of authors said that Ménierè disease, and in particularly endolymphatic hydrops, are multicausal. Ménierè disease incidence is approximately 0,2/100 persons, and the hydrops is met in 6/100 persons, therefore it has to be something more involved in] on Ménierè disease ethiopathogenesis than a simple hydrops: the mechanisms are multiethiologic or other mechanisms which produced Ménierè disease exist. Currently therapeutical options for Ménierè disease pacients are: diet and lifestyle control, pharmacotherapy, surgical treatment, re-education and other therapeutical procedures.
