    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Neurosurgery
    • Vestibular Science

    Background:

    • Disabling vertigo, often linked to Meniere's disease, has numerous surgical treatment options.
    • Non-Meniere's peripheral vertigo also presents surgical candidates.
    • Effective surgical interventions for vertigo require precise patient selection.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate surgical outcomes for patients with disabling non-Meniere's vertigo.
    • To assess the efficacy of surgical interventions for specific non-Meniere's vertigo conditions.
    • To highlight the importance of diagnostic accuracy in vertigo surgery.

    Main Methods:

    • A 3-year retrospective study of 14 patients with non-Meniere's vertigo.
    • Surgical procedures included transmastoid labyrinthectomy and selective vestibular neurectomy.
    • Follow-up at 1 year to assess symptom relief and improvement.

    Main Results:

    • All 14 patients with non-Meniere's vertigo experienced total relief or marked improvement at 1 year.
    • Sixty patients with Meniere's disease also underwent surgery during the study period.
    • Successful surgical management was achieved for chronic vestibular neuronitis, delayed onset vertigo, and labyrinthine injury.

    Conclusions:

    • Surgery can yield satisfactory results for disabling non-Meniere's vertigo.
    • Extreme caution and meticulous patient selection are paramount for surgical success.
    • Accurate diagnosis and exclusion of central pathology are critical prerequisites for optimal surgical outcomes.
