Abstract
Meniere茂驴陆s disease is a debilitating condition characterized by vertigo, hearing loss, and tinnitus/aural fullness. It currently affects about 615,000 Americans and about 45,500 new cases are diagnosed each year. Traditional management of the disease consists of a low- salt diet, the use of diuretics, to a variety of surgeries. The use of intratympanic gentamicin has gained popularity over the years as a major modality of treatment for Meniere茂驴陆s disease. We review our experience short and long term with intratympanic gentamicin for Meniere茂驴陆s disease. Although intratympanic gentamicin comes with the risk of hearing loss, it茂驴陆s favored for it茂驴陆s significant control of vertigo attacks and because it is a relatively non-invasive procedure. Complete to substantial control (class A & B) was achieved in 82.50% of our patients, with an overall decrease of hearing of 1.70 dB and an overall drop in word recognition score of only 0.58% (56.29 dB/61.41% baseline to 57.99 dB/60.83% at follow-up). This talk will focus on our experience and results with intratympanic gentamicin for the treatment of Meniere茂驴陆s disease. We will also focus on hearing loss in some cases.Biography
