Page last modified: January 6, 2004 Fig 1. Normal inner ear. In 1861, the French physician Prosper Ménière described a condition which now bears his name. Ménière's disease is a disorder of the inner ear which causes episodes of vertigo, ringing in the ears (tinnitus), a feeling of fullness or pressure in the ear, and fluctuating hearing loss. In figure 1, the area of the ear affected is the entire labyrinth, which includes both the semicircular canals and the cochlea. A typical attack of Ménière's disease is preceded by fullness in one ear. Hearing fluctuation or changes in tinnitus may also precede an attack. A Ménière's episode generally involves severe vertigo (spinning), imbalance, nausea and vomiting. The average attack lasts two to four hours. Following a severe attack, most people find that they are exhausted and must sleep for several hours. There is a large amount of variability in the duration of symptoms. Some people experience brief "shocks", and others have constant unsteadiness. An unusual sensitivity to visual stimuli is common. (Lacour, 1997)

    Extractions: Etiology (cause) of Menieres Syndrome Timothy C. Hain, MD . Please read our Figure 1a: Normal membranous labyrinth 1b. Dilated membranous labyrinth in Meniere's disease (Hydrops) Return to Index Content last updated: 2/03 Most authors feel that Menieres syndrome, and specifically endolymphatic hydrops (see figure 1a-b), has several causes (etiologies). Reasonable possibilities are obstruction of endolymphatic outflow at the endolymphatic duct level, increased production of endolymph, or reduced absorption of endolymph caused by a dysfunctional endolymphatic sac. Recently, the most generally accepted idea that Meniere's disease and endolymphatic hydrops are always associated has been questioned. Hydrops is not found in all persons with Meniere's disease, and hydrops is also commonly found (6%) on autopsy studies of persons who had no Meniere's type symptoms (Honrubia, 1999; Rauch et al, 2001). Because Meniere's disease occurs in roughly 0.2/100 persons , and Hydrops is found in 6/100 temporal bones, the there are 30 times more people with hydrops than Meniere's disease. Thus logically, there must be something more than simply hydrops involved in the origin of Meniere's disease Explanations for Meniere's that depend on unilateral injury to an ear, such as a blockage of a "drainage pipe" in the ear, also seem hard to sustain in view of the known long-term studies that show that Meniere's becomes bilateral in roughly 50% of all people, after 15 years (Stahle et al, 1991). Although ruptures of membranes are found at post-mortem, there is no evidence of when they occurred. For ruptures to be the cause of the periodic auditory and vestibular symptoms of Meniere's disease, one would have to accept the idea that there are multiple ruptures of thin membranes that are repaired over and over. This seems very implausible. It is also questionable that even if a rupture were to occur, that the mixture of endolymph and perilymph would be sufficient to create the symptoms of Meniere's disease.(Honrubia, 1999)

    Extractions: MENIERE'S DISEASE The ear is divided into three parts: external ear, middle ear, and inner ear. Sound travels along the external ear canal, causing the eardrum to vibrate. Three small bones of the middle ear (malleus, incus, and stapes) conduct this vibration from the ear drum to the cochlea of the inner ear, causing waves of fluid in the cochlea to stimulate its delicate hearing cells (hair cells). Movement of the hair cells generates an electrical current in the auditory nerve, which in turn transmits signals to the brain. Through various interconnections these signals are recognized as sound.

However, some people find that they add depth to the articles found in the other sections of this website which are written for non-medical people. Disease of the labyrinth caused by endolymphatic hydrops causing distension due to inadequate fluid resorption in the endolymphatic sac or disruption of the longitudinal endolymph flow. Produces irregular rupture of the endolymph membrane causing palsy of ampullary nerves and disturbance of hearing. Between attacks, there is pressure-dependent loss of cochlear and vestibular neurones with distortion of structures of the labyrinth. In many cases the cause is idiopathic in others it is due to labyrinthitis caused by viral or bacterial infection or trauma e.g. temporal bone fracture Epidemiology

    Extractions: Meniere's Disease written by Jim Zimmerlin Meniere's disease is a disorder of the inner ear that can cause severe dizziness, vomiting, ringing in the ears, and can disable you for the better part of a day or more. It is a non-fatal, non-curable condition. Non-curable? Well, think of it like having an allergy to something... nothing they can do will make you no longer allergic to whatever it is you're allergic to... but once you understand the fact that you do have this allergic condition, you can find ways to avoid triggering it. My experience with Meniere's disease began during the first half of 1995... I had a total of about a dozen severe attacks over six months or so. During an attack I would get extremely dizzy within a matter of 5 or 10 minutes. Sometimes I would begin vomiting. During an attack I was too dizzy to walk or do anything except lie down. The most effective strategy to feel better seemed to be lying down very still, taking Meclizine and a good nap. After about an hour or two I could feel it start to work... but I usually still felt pretty lousy, or as Meniere's sufferers often say "out of sorts", for about a day after an attack. At first I had no idea what was causing my attacks nor did I really understand the nature of the problem at all. After several visits to the emergency room and a referral to a good ear/nose/throat specialist, I came to learn that it was Meniere's disease. My doctor was able to explain it a little, but I was able to learn quite a bit more about Meniere's from looking it up on the Internet.
