[Diseases associated with Ménière's disease].
The object of the present paper was to investigate the presence of other diseases in patients suffering from Menière's disease and to identify any common etiopathogenetic factors. In a group of 100 patients there was a high incidence of three pathological associations: 1) anxiety and depression; 2) dyspepsia; and 3) vasomotor headache. The percentages were then compared with the data found in the literature and with the non menieric population. The association of dyspepsia proved statistically significant. The relationship between anxiety and vasomotor headache remains suspect while awaiting more precise definition of these diseases and findings more comparable with the total population.
