#### The bottom line
Meniere’s disease is often considered in the differential diagnosis of episodic dizziness, although it is not a common cause of new onset vertigo. Rather it is a disorder of the inner ear, characterised by recurrent attacks of self limiting vertigo. These attacks are associated with unilateral fluctuating low frequency sensorineural hearing loss, a sense of “fullness” in the affected ear (aural fullness), and tinnitus.1 Clinical findings are initially normal between…

Diagnostic errors are usually caused by the fact that the patients with MD are not conducted audiometry, vestibular tests, and the signs of cerebral microangiopathy identified when MRI brain are mistakenly regarded as confirmation of vascular dizziness genesis.

It is indicated statistically that the ELS procedure does not alter the long-term natural course of vertigo control in Meniere's disease, whereas both the RVN and CVN significantly improve the patient's chance of being permanently free of Vertigo attacks.

The most severe forms of vertigo and nausea were found in vestibular neuritis, whereas the most severe case of tinnitus appeared in Meniere's disease, and factorial analysis did not aid the clustering of these diseases.

No trial met the highest quality standard set by the review because of inadequate diagnostic criteria or methods, and none assessed the effect of betahistine on vertigo adequately, so there is insufficient evidence to say whether bethistine has any effect on Menière's disease.
