Ocular Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potentials to Air Conducted Tone Bursts in Patients with Unilateral Definite Ménière’s Disease

Ménière’s disease is a progressive idiopathic disorder that was first described by Prosper Ménière’s . The cause of the disease has not yet been clarified and remains controversial. It is, however, hypothesized that an increased amount of endolymph (endolymphatic hydrops) which causes distension of the endolymphatic sac and the endolymphatic components of the vestibular and cochlear parts may be the underlying mechanism causing the symptoms . In a series of Ménière’s patients in whom temporal bones were analyzed, all had evidence of cochlear hydrops .
