Ménière's attacks associated with facial paralysis.
An 85-year-old man developed in the last 5 years three attacks on Ménière's syndrome associated with facial paralysis. The syndrome could be interpreted as a transient ischemic attack in the territory of the anterior inferior cerebellar artery. An alternative hypothesis could be to admit a Ménière's disease with compression of the facial nerve during the attacks of labyrinthine hydrops.
