Management of intractable Ménière's disease after intratympanic injection of gentamicin.
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS 1) To evaluate the efficacy of, and problems with, intratympanic gentamicin injection (ITG) in medically intractable definite Ménière's disease (MD) and secondary endolymphatic hydrops (EH); and 2) to review the vestibular status and treatment options of intractable vertigo even after ITG. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective case review and survey. METHODS 780 patients with def...
متن کاملIntratympanic gentamicin for Ménière's disease or syndrome.
BACKGROUND Ménière's disease is characterised by three major symptoms: vertigo, deafness and tinnitus, which may be accompanied by aural fullness, all of which are discontinuous and variable in intensity. While discontinuous, these symptoms are synchronous. Intratympanic application of gentamicin, an ototoxic aminoglycoside, is a relatively new ablative treatment for vertigo in Ménière's diseas...
متن کاملIntratympanic application of gentamicin for treatment of Menière's disease.
Since 1974 we have treated 118 patients suffering from unilateral and bilateral (two patients) Morbus Meniere with intratympanal applications of gentamicin-sulfate. In contrast to earlier attempts using this method, we did not try to destroy the vestibular apparatus, but taking into our considerations the recent findings about the pathophysiological mechanism of Morbus Meniere, only to damage t...
متن کاملone-shot, low-dosage intratympanic gentamicin for ménière's disease: clinical, posturographic and vestibular test findings.
background: ménière’s disease has been remained as a difficult therapeutic challenge. the present study aimed to determine the effects of one-shot low-dosage intratympanic gentamicin on vertigo control, auditory outcomes and findings of computerized dynamic posturography and vestibular evoked myogenic potentials in patients with unilateral ménière’s disease. methods: in...
متن کاملResults of electrocochleography in Ménière's disease after successful vertigo control by single intratympanic gentamicin injection.
In the last several years, a promising new approach has been suggested in the therapy of Ménière's disease (MD): the low-dose intratympanic gentamicin therapy. By titrating the desired vestibular inhibition by single injections and infrequent administration, side effects concerning hearing can be held on an acceptably low level, while disease-related symptoms are often successfully eliminated. ...
