title: Clinical survey of Meniére's disease: 574 cases.
abstract: Only 27% out of 574 patients suffering from Meniére's disease initially started with the typical Meniére's triad. A great advantage in order to diagnose Meniére's disease can be established with the telemetric-ENG. With this equipment it is possible to verify a nystagmus outside the clinic (at home, at work) at any time in patients suffering from vertigo attacks. Most of our patients showed an omnifrequent sensorineural hearing loss on the affected side. Many of our patients with Meniére's disease suffered from internal diseases (e.g. hypotonia, hyperlipidemia, diabetes mellitus), allergy or an affection of the paranasal sinuses, which may constitute co-factors triggering Meniére's disease.
