Effects of Endolymphatic Sac Drainage With Steroids for Meniere's Disease

Meniere's Disease

Meniere's disease is a common inner ear disease with an incidence of 15-50 per 100,000 population. Since Meniere's disease is thought to be triggered by an immune insult to inner ear, we examined intra-endolymphatic sac application of large doses of steroids as de novo treatment for intractable Meniere's disease.

Sildenafil For Meniere's Disease

Meniere's Disease

Meniere's disease affects a person's sense of balance. An attack can last 20 minutes to 2 hours or longer. Symptoms include rotational vertigo, hearing loss, tinnitus and a sensation of fullness in the affected ear and may be associated with nausea and vomiting. One hypothesis is that Meniere's disease is caused by the excessive accumulation of fluid in the balance tubes within the inner ear. Sildenafil may alleviate the symptoms due to its vasodilatory activity. The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of sildenafil (Viagra) compared with placebo on symptoms during one acute attack.

Vasopressin and V2 Receptor in Meniere's Disease

Meniere Disease

Summary: Some of sicknesses are well known to be provoked by inadequate adaptation to physical and/or psychogenic stress in their daily life. Meniere's disease is also a common inner ear disease accompanied with vertigo, hearing loss and tinnitus especially in civilized people under stressed life style. Its oto-pathology was firstly revealed in 1938 to be inner ear endolymphatic hydrops through the temporal bone study. To elucidate the neuroscientific relationship between "stress" and "inner ear", we examined plasma vasopressin (the anti-diuretic "stress" hormone) and its receptor, V2R in the endolymphatic sac (the "inner ear" endo-organ for endolymph absorption) in Meniere's patients.

Consequence of Unilateral Vestibular Loss on Visual Abilities

Vestibular SchwannomaVisual Impairment1 more

Unilateral vestibular lesions are frequent and disabling pathologies causing a set of oculomotor, postural and perceptual symptoms. These symptoms reduce over time according to a vestibular compensation. However, vestibular compensation should be considered as a set of sub-processes whose duration and recovery level differ. Indeed, after a unilateral vestibular loss, some functions remain asymmetrical as a long-term effect, and these disorders may be observed among patients with no functional complaints. Balance disorders may persist in some patients. The equilibration consists in handling real-time a considerable amount of information coming from the environment and the subject himself, allowing an adaptation of the position and movements of his body to satisfy the needs of posture, balance and orientation. This information comes mainly from the vision, the vestibule and the somesthesic system. It is pre-treated and harmonized in the brainstem, before being transmitted to the higher brain centres. Brain centers thus learn about peripheral conditions. According to these and the project of the movement, brain centers address in response orders to ophtalmological and motor effectors ensuring look, posture and balance to be provided. The eye is a cornerstone of the balancing system through the retina, an environmental sensor, and its extraocular muscles, effectors of the system. The aim of this study is to assess the effects of acute unilateral vestibular loss on visual abilities evaluated by orthoptic balance in patients who presented acute unilateral vestibular loss by surgical deafferentation (removal of vestibular schwannoma, vestibular neurotomy or surgical labyrinthectomy for Meniere's disease), during the early phase and decline of vestibular compensation. Our secondary objective is to evaluate the effect of a pre-existing anomaly of the visual abilities evaluated by orthoptic assessment on the vestibular compensation capacities. All in all, this study seems crucial to improve the management of patients with unilateral vestibular dysfunction and contribute to improving their clinical management. As a standardized management of these patients, an audio-vestibular evaluation will be performed before surgery (-1D), after acute unilateral vestibular loss at the early stage (+7D), and then after vestibular compensation (+2M) as well as an orthoptic evaluation. A good tolerance of the orthoptic evaluation is expected in this surgical context.
