It affects both sexes equally. It can occur at all ages, and most frequently starts between ages of 20 and 50 years. About 7-10 per cent have a family history of the disease. Initially the disease usually affects one ear, but 15% of people have both ears affected at the start of symptoms. As the disease progresses, up to 50% will develop the disease in both ears. The cause is unknown. Many factors are probably involved in the development of the disease. The relationships between these factors and the progression of the disease remain unclear. The factors that may be involved are: Increased pressure of the fluid in the endolymphatic sac in the inner ear. A familial predisposition to develop the disease.

Home Select a Medical Service Balance Center Meniere's disease is a disorder of the inner ear which affects all of its functions in varying and unpredictable ways. The inner ear is a fluid-filled chamber divided into hearing and balance canals. It is the part of the ear where sounds and movements are converted to nerve impulses that travel to the brain. There, the information is perceived as hearing and balance. Both canals share the same fluids, which is the reason that hearing and balance functions are often affected simultaneously. The classical description of Meniere's syndrome is a patient with episodes of dizziness, fluctuating hearing loss, a noise in the ear (tinnitus), and fullness in the ear.

While conservative medical treatment is sucessful in about 70 percent of patients, the remaining 30 percent may require more aggressive treatment. In the past, surgery often resulted in complete hearing loss. Now, patients have the option of undergoing such procedures as a vestibular nerve section, an intracranial operation in which the vestibular nerve is selectively severed and hearing is preserved. The center is also using an innovative medical treatment for selected patients with Meniere's disease . Known as a chemical labyrinthectomy, the procedure involves a middle ear injection of gentamicin, a commonly used antibiotic that penetrates into the inner ear. Once there, it is toxic to the vestibular hair cells and reduces dizziness without the need for surgery or hospitalization.

There is an inner ear on each side of the head. The inner ear helps with balance. Meniere's disease comes and goes. It may not occur for months and then several attacks will occur in a short period. You may experience one or all of these symptoms: It affects about one in 20,000. It is more common in men than women.

Extractions: Menieres disease is a chronic condition of the inner ear causing episodes of vertigo and sensorineural hearing loss. The nerve hearing loss fluctuates with each dizzy spell, and there is usually tinnitus- ringing in the ear. Most patients experience fullness or pressure in the ear. After repeated episodes there is usually some degree of permanent hearing loss. This complex of inner ear symptoms can mild or in some instances severe. Dizziness is usually the predominant symptom. Severe or frequent dizziness can greatly interfere with normal life, putting the patient at risk of falls, or accidents. Fortunately there is usually at least a few minutes of warning (ear pressure, tinnitus or hearing loss) prior to the start of the episode of vertigo. The vertigo usually lasts a few hours but may last a day or more. There is usually nausea, often vomiting, and any motion makes the dizziness worse. Treatment requires salt and caffeine restriction as these substances interfere with fluid regulation. During an episode of dizziness, vestibular suppressants are used to sedate the part of the brain involved with balance and reduce dizziness. Meclizine, valium, dramamine or similar drugs can be taken by mouth. Suppositories are available if there is vomiting. A diuretic (fluid pill) taken daily can prevent or greatly reduce dizziness in most cases. Other medications may be prescribed by some Otolaryngologists, however there is disagreement on the usefulness of these. While treatment is usually very helpful with dizziness, hearing loss may show no improvement. A hearing aid may be very helpful.

Extractions: Category : Health Centers Ears and Hearing Disorders Meniere's Disease Alternate Names : Menir's Syndrome Pictures and Images Attribution Menir's disease is a disorder characterized by recurrent attacks of disabling vertigo . Vertigo is a sensation of movement when none is actually occurring. The person may feel that he or she is spinning or rotating abnormally. What is going on in the body? Menir's disease is a disorder of the inner ear. The inner ear is made up of the cochlea and the labyrinth. The cochlea is a snail-shaped structure involved in hearing. The labyrinth is made up of canals in the inner ear that control balance. Within the cochlea and labyrinth are two fluid-filled compartments. The separation between the two compartments is necessary for hearing and balance. It allows the nerves to communicate with each other within that space. Experts believe that damage to the inner ear starts the process of Menir's disease. The injury causes fluid to build up in the two compartments. The pressure increases and damages the labyrinth. In some cases, the cochlea is also damaged.

http://oto.wustl.edu/men/mn1.htm

Extractions: Vertigo must be one of the worst chronic afflictions to affect the body. The vertigo patient perceives either that the world is spinning around them or that they themselves are spinning. With many other disabilities, some portion of a normal life can be continued. Vertigo disrupts virtually every aspect of life, since the patient loses the ability to do anything normally, especially when movement is involved. In addition to the obvious hazard of falling, moving around is hampered by the fact that even small head movements often make the spinning sensation worse. The resulting nausea, sweating and vomiting combine to make the patient subjectively very "ill". Vertigo can totally incapacitate the individual, so they cannot function. Often the patient will confine themselves to bed until the symptoms subside. partially 2) Fluctuating, progressive, low-frequency hearing loss

Printer-friendly version Email this article Meniere's (say "men-ears") disease is the name of a problem of the inner ear. No one knows the cause. Meniere's disease has something to do with fluid in canals of the inner ear. Although it can be troublesome, Meniere's is not contagious and it isn't fatal. However, it's a "chronic" problem, which means that it lasts a long time. People with Meniere's disease don't have symptoms all the time. When symptoms occur, it's called an "attack." Attacks may happen often, or only sometimes. Attacks usually last from 20 minutes to 2 hours or longer. Meniere's disease usually occurs in only one ear. It affects both ears in only about 30% of patients. Return to top The symptoms of Meniere's disease include dizziness, a feeling of fullness in the ear and tinnitus (a roaring sound in the ear). The dizziness is described as a spinning or whirling feeling and may cause problems with balance (feeling unstable while walking). Some people feel nauseated and vomit during an attack (because of the spinning feeling). Some people also notice some hearing loss, especially with sounds that have a low tone.
