Vestibular neurectomy by the infralabyrinthine approach.
There are a variety of approaches for treating vertigo with selective vestibular neurectomy but each has definite limitations proving that no ideal technique is yet available. An original posterior-inferior approach to the internal auditory canal (infralabyrinthine approach) has been recently proposed. It attempts to overcome the limitations and to combine the advantages of the previous procedures. This report presents our preliminary results using this particular technique in the management of vestibular symptoms of Menière's disease.
