متن کاملIntratympanic gentamicin for the treatment of Meniere's disease and other forms of peripheral vertigo.
Titration therapy with intratympanic gentamicin offers class A or B control of vertigo in 87% (range, 75%-100%) of patients with unilateral Ménière's disease. The risk of additional hearing loss is about 21% (range,0-37%). Vertigo may recur, however, in nearly one third of patients over time. These recurrences can also be treated by intratympanic gentamicin with a similar risk of hearing loss. ...
متن کاملAngular vestibulo-ocular reflex gains correlate with vertigo control after intratympanic gentamicin treatment for Meniere's disease.
OBJECTIVES The objective of our study was to determine whether angular vestibulo-ocular reflex (aVOR) gains correlated with vertigo control after intratympanic gentamicin treatment for Meniere's disease. METHODS We conducted a prospective study of 18 subjects with unilateral Meniere's disease treated with intratympanic gentamicin injection and followed all subjects for 1 year. We measured the...
متن کاملIntratympanic Therapies for Menière's disease.
There are multiple treatment options to consider when managing patients with Menière's disease. When conservative measures fail to control symptoms of Menière's disease, escalation of interventions may be required. Targeted drug delivery to the round window with intratympanic injections allows for local application of high concentrations of medications, largely avoiding systemic side effects. I...
