Summary

Ménière's disease management includes lifestyle changes and diuretics. For persistent vertigo, low-dose intratympanic gentamicin injections effectively reduce vestibular function and control symptoms.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Neurology

Background:

  • Ménière's disease presents with vertigo, hearing loss, aural fullness, and tinnitus.
  • Pathologically, it involves endolymphatic hydrops distorting the membranous labyrinth.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the pathogenesis, etiology, diagnosis, and treatment of Ménière's disease.
  • To discuss current therapeutic strategies for managing Ménière's disease symptoms, particularly vertigo.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of pathogenesis, etiology, diagnosis, and treatment options for Ménière's disease.
  • Analysis of recent findings on the efficacy and mechanisms of gentamicin treatment.

Main Results:

  • Initial management may include low-salt diet and diuretics.

  • Intratympanic gentamicin injections are effective for persistent vertigo, reducing vestibular function without complete ablation.
  • Gentamicin's effects on vestibular function and vertigo control are under ongoing investigation.

    • Conclusions:

    • Vertigo is a primary debilitating symptom of Ménière's disease.
    • Low-dose intratympanic gentamicin is a viable option for medically refractory vertigo.
    • Further research aims to elucidate gentamicin's precise mechanisms in controlling vertigo.
