Abstract

Meniere´s Disease is a chronic illness of the inner ear characterized by episodic spontaneous and recurrent vertigo’s, unilateral sensorineural hearing loss, tinnitus and aural pressure. Currently, the cause of Meniere´s Disease is unknown, it is considered to be multifactorial and it´s diagnosis is based on the presence of episodic vertigo associated to sensorineural hearing loss. Vestibular tests monitor the functionality of the inner ear, establish a prognosis and a treatment but are not necessary for diagnosis. Current management consists on life style changes, pharmacologic and surgical treatment. All of this in order to reduce the frequency and severity of symptoms and limit hearing loss progression.
