Ménière's Disease [Mar 1995; 13-1] Stahle and colleagues [4] estimated the incidence of Ménière's disease in a Swedish population in 1973; this was possible because Ménière's disease was recorded on the health records of all inpatients with the diagnosis in Sweden. Ménière's disease or Ménière's syndrome can be a disabling condition where hearing loss, tinnitus, vertigo and a feeling of fullness in the ear come together in various proportions and extents. Ménière's disease is not common, but an average GP practice with some 6000 patients would expect to see perhaps one new case per year. www.jr2.ox.ac.uk /bandolier/band13/b13-1.html   (2012 words)

Menieres%20disease.html Ménière's disease, first described in 1861 by the French physician Prosper Ménière, is characterized by multiple symptoms, all associated with excessive fluid in the inner ear involving both the hearing and balance organs. The symptoms of Ménière's are dizzy spells (vertigo) associated with hearing loss, tinnitus, and a feeling of fullness in the ear. It is important to remember that Ménière's involves both ears in only 20 percent of patients, and if it is going to involve both ears, it usually does so in the first 2 or 3 years. depts.washington.edu /hearing/Menieres%20disease.html   (1183 words)

Meniere's Disease Meniere's disease is one of the most common causes of dizziness originating in the inner ear. The symptoms of Meniere's disease are episodic rotational vertigo (attacks of a spinning sensation), hearing loss, tinnitus (a roaring, buzzing, or ringing sound in the ear), and a sensation of fullness in the affected ear. The symptoms of Meniere's disease may be only a minor nuisance, or can become disabling, especially if the attacks of vertigo are severe, frequent, and occur without warning. www.entcolumbia.org /meniere.htm   (1095 words)

Meniere's Disease Meniere's disease is an abnormality of the inner ear causing a host of symptoms, including vertigo or severe dizziness, tinnitus or a roaring sound in the ears, fluctuating hearing loss, and the sensation of pressure or pain in the affected ear. The symptoms of Meniere's disease are associated with a change in fluid volume within a portion of the inner ear known as the labyrinth. Many experts on Meniere's disease think that a rupture of the membranous labyrinth allows the endolymph to mix with perilymph, another inner ear fluid that occupies the space between the membranous labyrinth and the bony inner ear. www.fhma.com /menieres.htm   (1039 words)

Peter M. Marcuse, M.D. / Disease Disease is an imbalance between the individual organism and the environment, according to Dr. Peter Marcuse.
