Ménière's disease.
The authors review some of the contrasts that Ménière's disease presents to the practicing otologist and describe recent findings in electrocochleography (ECochG) and vectornystagmorgraphy that have been of help in establishing the diagnosis in unusual cases. ECochG has also been useful in detecting the presence of the disease in the patient's better ear. The goals of medical and surgical treatment are discussed in relation to these findings.
