Abstract

Introduction: Meniere’s disease is a chronic multifactorial disorder of the inner ear, characterized primarily by vertigo, low- to mid-frequency sensorineural hearing loss, tinnitus, and aural fullness, usually unilateral; its prevalence ranges from 17 to 513 cases per 100,000 people, being more common in women and older adults. The central hypothesis of the pathophysiology of Meniere’s disease is endolymphatic hydrops; due to its unpredictable and episodic nature of the condition and the severe and disabling attacks of vertigo, patients suffer great deterioration in their quality of life.
