Disease Study

To clarify if migraine-associated vertigo (MAV) and Meniere's disease (MD) share a common pathophysiology, vestibular-evoked myogenic potentials (VEMP) were measured in 11 patients with MAV, 11 with unilateral MD and eight healthy subjects. As acoustic stimuli, tone bursts (TB; 250, 500, 1000 and 2000 Hz) were presented. In healthy subjects, 500-Hz TB evoked the largest amplitude. To quantify this tendency, 500-1000 VEMP slope was calculated, and 500-1000 VEMP slope was the smallest on the affected side of MD patients. Among the 11 MD patients, five had significantly decreased 500-1000 VEMP asymmetry (shift of the tuning to 1000 Hz). Three of the 11 MAV patients also showed a significantly decreased 500-1000 VEMP slope. This finding suggests that MAV might share a common pathophysiology with MD. In addition to this finding, four of the other eight MAV patients showed prolonged p13 latencies. This suggests that MAV could consist of patients with different lesion sites.

Interpretation Of Results

Aim: The aim was to present methodology and interpretation of results of phase shift distortion-product otoacoustic emissions (Shift-DPOAE) in healthy subjects and patients with Meniere’s disease in remission stage and at the time of attack. Material and methods: Shift-DPOAE was performed in two healthy subjects without any otologic or neurologic problems and in six patients diagnosed with Meniere’s disease. Results obtained in eight subjects are oresented. The following tests were performed in all subjects: detailed otoscopy, impedance audiometry, pure tone audiometry, DPOAE, and Shift-DPOAE. Results: The normal Shift-DPOAE results obtained in two healthy subjects as well as the normal (two subjects) and abnormal (four subjects) Shift-DPOAE results obtained in patients with Meniere's disease are presented in order to thoroughly discuss the methodology and interpretation of the Shift-DPOAE study. Conclusions: The Shift-OAE is a promising diagnostic tool with great clinical potential in the diagnosis and monitoring of Meniere's disease in patients whose hearing has not yet been damaged. This examination is completely non-invasive, it can be carried out immediately after an attack of the disease with symptoms present at the time of the test, and it takes just a few minutes.

Ménière's Disease

Meniere’s disease is a disorder of the inner ear resulting in symptoms of episodic vertigo, tinnitus, hearing loss and aural pressure. Although the exact etiology is uncertain, it is associated with raised pressure in the endolymph of the inner ear (endolymphatic hydrops). The diagnosis of Meniere's disease is based on the clinical setting of the patient. This disease usually presents with unilateral ear symptoms but can be also bilateral. Meniere's disease attacks are usually random and episodic (approximately 6-11 per year), with periods of remission that can last from months to years. Investigations are audiometry, electronystagmogram, vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMPs) and imaging.The management consist pharmacological and non pharmacological. Meniere's disease is initially progressive but fluctuates unexpectedly. It is difficult to distinguish natural resolutions from treatment effects.
