Pressure sensation in Meniere's disease

This article reports a case of Meniere's disease accompanied by a persistent feeling of pressure in the ear. The patient had undergone a series of surgical procedures to alleviate his symptoms. The pressure sensation was relieved only by translabyrinthine cochlear nerve section. The relationships of the result of translabyrinthine cochlear nerve section with the mechanism and pathway of the pressure sensation are discussed. Cochlear nerve section is recommended at the same time as vestibular nerve section for patients with unilateral Meniere's disease with severe pressure sensation in the ear.
