(a) After op → assess pain score and follow the WHO step ladder
5. 20 years old patient, comes with episodic vertigo, TRIAD
tinnitus, hearing loss (left)(FAM MED)

❖ Perform relevant examination


➢ Full hearing examination: whisper test, Rinne and Weber test, otoscopy
➢ Dx : meniere’s disease

b. Explain the diagnosis and treatment plan to patient

● Ménière's disease is a condition of the inner ear that causes sudden attacks of: feeling
like the room is spinning around you (vertigo) a ringing noise inside the ear (tinnitus)
pressure felt deep inside the ear.

72ep720min

● Need to Refer for audiogram → sensorineural hearing loss


Vertigo management is usually comprised of symptomatic and non-pharmacological therapy
● Acute and severe episodes of vertigo, regardless of the underlying cause, will usually
settle 24-48 hours due to the effect of brainstem compensation
● Symptoms relieve :
○ Antiemetic medications (eg Metoclopramide, Promethazine,
Prochlorperazine) for nausea and vomiting control
○ Diuretics (combination of Hydrochlorothiazide and Acetazolamide) helps
lower endolymphatic pressure I endolymph
○ Betahistine and labyrinth ablation therapies with intratympanic Gentamicin
vestibular also aids in lowering endolymphatic pressure
suppressant○ Intratympanic glucocorticoids showed some benefit in patients with

I
intractable unilateral Meniere’s disease

or gatame
mph
○ Vestibular blocking/suppressant agents (eg Meclizine, Betahistine,
Dimenhydrinate, Diazepam, Glycopyrrolate, Lorazepam) to reduce the
spinning sensation
○ Antihistamines with calcium channel blocking activity, eg Cinnarizine, may
be effective in patients with “vestibular Meniere’s” due to the high
prevalence of migraine in these patients
● Surgical Intervention
○ Surgery is recommended if conservative and medical treatments have failed
and the disease is severe
○ Endolymphatic duct/sac procedures and sacculotomy
■ The procedure exposes the endolymphatic sac and duct with the aim
of improving endolymph drainage
■ Commonly done in Meniere’s disease patients with intact hearing
■ Control of vertigo has been reported in 75-80% in an uncontrolled
case series
■ Low risk of sensorineural hearing loss
○ Vestibular nerve section or Vestibular neurectomy
■ Vestibular nerve bundle is surgically lysed as it enters the internal
auditory canal
■ Relieves vertigo in 90-95% of patients
■ Low risk of sensorineural hearing loss
○ Labyrinthectomy
■ Neuroepithelium of the bony and membranous labyrinth is surgically
removed, thus eliminating both balance and hearing function from
the affected ear
■ Due to the irreversible hearing loss, this procedure is reserved for
patients with intractable symptoms despite pharmacotherapy, and
with poor hearing or complete hearing loss on the affected side
