"Of the most common recurrent vestibulopathies (Meniere's Disease, Vestibular Neuronitis, Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo), Meniere's Disease has received the most attention because of the sensorineural hearing loss and tinnitus that is also present. Furthermore, the description of endolymphatic hydrops (EH) in the temporal of MD has provided some insight to its cause. Unfortunately, the various medical and surgical methods used to reduce this EH have failed to relieve the symptoms of MD. EH has come to be regarded as a marker of the pathophysiology result of a viral labyrinthitis. Close examination of human TB specimens from patients with MD, VN and BPPV by light and electron-microscopy has revealed changes in the 7th and 8th cranial nerves produced by neurotropic viral organisms of the herpes family. Re-activation of these viruses in the vestibular ganglion with release of toxic nucleic acids into the peri lymphatic space produces a serous labyrinthitis responsible for the symptoms of MD. We have documentation of recovery of hearing loss in almost half of the patients with MD. In this book the work of more than 20 years documents this evidence"--

Dizziness and vertigo are symptoms related to peripheral vestibular disorders. These are among the most common complaints in medical offices, and knowledge of the major diseases affecting this system is of fundamental importance to the specialist in otolaryngology. In recent years, great advances have been made in otoneurology, which, coupled with increasing knowledge in the field of neurosciences, have substantially modified the approach of the patient with balance complaints. This book studies the most polemic of these vestibular diseases, the Meniere's disease.

Otology and Neurotology provides guidance on the clinical and practical management of diseases of the ear and lateral skull base.It discusses the latest techniques and technologies that encompass the complex nature of the specialty.Topics important to the otologist and neurotologist, such as chronic ear disease, cochlear and brainstem implants, robotic surgery, and many others, are covered by experts in their fields. This book is an invaluable reference for residents, fellows, allied health professionals, comprehensive otolaryngologists, otologists, neurotologists, and skull base surgeons. Key Features: Applied anatomy and physiology of the ear and lateral skull base Evidence-based approach to diseases of the ear and lateral skull base Practical presentation of cutting-edge concepts in otology and neurotology The contributors to this volume are internationally recognized experts in otology, neurotology, and lateral skull base surgery.
