Meniere disease

Definition:

Meniere disease is an inner ear disorder characterized by episodic vertigo attacks, sensorineural hearing loss, tinnitus, and aural fullness. Prevailing theories on its pathogenesis point to endolymphatic hydrops as one derangement responsible for producing dysfunction within the cochlea and peripheral vestibular apparatus. Although the familial clustering and the geographical and racial differences in incidence suggest a certain role for genetic factors in the development of Meniere disease, no convincing evidence for an association with any gene exists, at present.
