Transtympanic electrocochleography reliably detects endolymphatic hydrops in Ménière

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Neurotology
  • Audiology

Background:

  • Endolymphatic hydrops is a condition affecting the inner ear, often leading to Ménière's disease.
  • Accurate diagnosis of endolymphatic hydrops is crucial for effective management of Ménière's disease.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the authors' 10-year experience with transtympanic electrocochleography (TEG).
  • To assess the diagnostic utility of TEG in identifying endolymphatic hydrops.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective case review of 2,421 ears from 2,140 patients undergoing TEG.
  • Utilized clicks and tonebursts, measuring summating potential/action potential ratio, action potential latency shift, and cochlear microphonic.
  • Defined criteria for endolymphatic hydrops based on specific electrophysiological measures.

Main Results:

  • High prevalence of abnormal TEG findings indicative of endolymphatic hydrops (e.g., enlarged SP/AP ratio in 76.1% with clicks).
  • Combined click and toneburst stimuli yielded an enlarged SP/AP ratio in 81.7% of ears.
  • Prolonged action potential latency shift observed in 62.2% of Ménière's disease ears; significant association with enlarged SP/AP ratio.
  • Increased likelihood of enlarged SP/AP ratio with advancing stages and duration of Ménière's disease.

Conclusions:

  • Transtympanic electrocochleography, using both clicks and tonebursts, is a reliable method for detecting endolymphatic hydrops.
  • Action potential latency shift measurement enhances the diagnostic capability of TEG for Ménière's disease.
