[Autoimmune Menière's disease: current concept].

Area of Science:

• Immunology
• Otolaryngology
• Neurology

Context:

• Ménière's disease is a complex inner ear disorder.
• The exact etiology of Ménière's disease remains unclear.
• Immunological involvement is suspected in some cases.

Purpose:

• To review current research on immunological mediation in Ménière's disease.
• To explore the potential role of immune responses in disease development.
• To identify clinical indicators and biological markers associated with immune involvement.

Summary:

• Experimental and clinical research suggests a link between Ménière's disease and immunological processes.
• Despite evidence, the precise role of these immunological occurrences in disease genesis is not yet fully understood.
• Clinical presentation may suggest immune system involvement, prompting investigation for specific biological anomalies.

Impact:

• Highlights the need for further research into the immunological underpinnings of Ménière's disease.
• Suggests potential diagnostic avenues through the detection of biological anomalies.
• May inform future therapeutic strategies targeting the immune system in Ménière's disease.
