Abstract
Meniere’s disease is a chronic debilitating condition which varies in its clinical presentation from patient to patient, hence it is categorized into typical and atypical Meniere’s disease. It is believed that in majority of cases the diagnosis is based on clinical history, as most of the investigation will only assist to support clinical diagnosis. It is also believed that the pathology is in the endolymphatic duct, where there is either excess production of endolymphatic fluid or there was blockage of drainage. There has been significant evidence published in recent times questioning the traditional hypothesis of pathophysiology in Meniere’s disease, which not only changes the way we manage this condition but given possibilities to accurately diagnose. I would like to present the published evidence with my surgical outcome for this condition which support new hypothesis.
