    Meniere's disease, an inner ear disorder causing vertigo and hearing loss, can be treated with medication or surgery. Endolymphatic sac decompression is recommended first-line surgical treatment for those unresponsive to medical therapy.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Neurology
    • Inner Ear Disorders

    Background:

    • Meniere's disease is an idiopathic inner ear disorder.
    • It is characterized by endolymphatic hydrops, episodic vertigo, fluctuating hearing loss, tinnitus, and aural fullness.
    • This condition can cause severe disability.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review current medical and surgical treatment options for Meniere's disease.
    • To establish a treatment algorithm prioritizing conservative over ablative surgical approaches.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of existing medical therapies including diuretics and salt restriction.
    • Discussion of allergy treatments such as desensitization and steroids.
    • Categorization of surgical interventions into conservative (endolymphatic sac decompression) and ablative (labyrinthectomy, vestibular neurectomy) procedures.

    Main Results:

    • Medical therapies aim to reduce fluid pressure in the inner ear.
    • Allergy treatments may benefit selected patients.
    • Endolymphatic sac decompression is presented as the primary surgical option for medically refractory cases.

    Conclusions:

    • Endolymphatic sac decompression should be the initial surgical approach for Meniere's disease patients failing medical management.
    • Ablative surgeries are reserved for persistent vertigo despite conservative treatments.
