Meniers Disease Periodic episodes of rotary vertigo or dizziness. ■Fluctuating, progressive, unilateral (in one ear) or bilateral (in both ears) hearing loss, usually in lower frequencies.[4] ■Unilateral or bilateral tinnitus. ■A sensation of fullness or pressure in one or both ears. • Prosper Ménière • Born • June 18, 1799 • Angers, France • Died • February 7, 1862 (aged 62) • Nationality • France • Known for • Ménière's disease • 1938 Hallpike described the pathology Hydrous. etiology still obscure • Pathology: • Endolymphatic Sac / Stria Vascularis/ Longitudinal flow Anatomical-abnormalities Genetic-autosomal dominant Immunological-immune complex deposition Viral-serum IgE to herpes simples virus types I and II, EpsteinBarr virus and CMV Vascular-associated with migraines Metabolic-potassium intoxication • Clinical Features: • 1/Vertigo episodic, duration >20minutes, <12 hours, clusters of vertigo and then remissions • frequency of vertigo • other symptoms of vagal disturbance • warning of impeding attack fullness in ear and change in character of tinitus. • Contd • 2/ Hearing Loss. • SN hearing loss, lower frequencies. fluctuating ,may be normal in remissions? • 3/Diplacusis, distortion of sound . tuning fork pitch • Contd • 4/Hyperacusis. intolerance to loud sounds • 5/ Tinnitus. low pitch • 6/ fullness in ears • Diagnosis: The diagnosis of Meniere disease is made based on a careful history and physical exam. • Examination{this is how I examine patient with giddy spells or vertigo. • Ear:RT/Lt> Normal • Eyes, Nystagmus in Acute attack towards the unaffected ear WRONG WAY, +eye movements+Corneal reflex • Tuning fork test, And diplacusis • examine all cranial nerves • Finger nose test • Unterberger test • Hallpike test (BPPV) • Investigations • Pure tone audiometry • Imaging: MRI to Exclude CP angle leision • Investigation not done routinely • 1/ Electrochochleography:Its measurement of electrical output of the cochlea and 8th nerve in response to an auditory stimulus. • a/ cochlear microphonics; wave form,deflection up and down,sourse is hair cells. • inference; if CM present hair cells of cochlea intact • Cont.. • Summating potentials, basilar membrane and outer hair cells? • Action potential 8th nerve • In Meniers disease there is negative summating potential and SP to AP ratio is >30% (n 20%) • Caloric test:irrigation of ear with warm and cold water(70degree above and below body temp) and duration of nystagmus noted . • Direction of nystagmus (COWS) temperature gradiend across scc and movement of endolymph. • In Meniers disease: canal paresis or reduced response on the affected side or directional preponderance. • Glycerol test; diagnostic • Glycerol 1.5ml/kg orally • hrs after ingestion ,PTA will show 10db improvement in hearing in adjacent frequencies. • Variants of Meniers disease • Cochlear hydrop, Vestibular hydrop • Treatment • Acute attack. 1/ Admit 2/ Vestibular Sedatives • 3/ Vasodilators Carbogen 5% co2 with 95% O2 • Histamine drip 2.75mg in 500ml glucose i/v slowly(rarely used because of cardiac complications • Treatment when Acute phase is over: • Betahistine(serc)16mg tds • Diureic • Surgery: 1/ Preserving Hearing • Decompression Endolympatic sac • Grommet insertion • vestibular Nerve section • Outcome of Retro-labyrinthine Vestibular Nerve Section Surgery (Original Article), Javed I.
