“…Their age ranged from 14-70 years, the mean age for males being 45.84 years while the mean age for females was 39 years. Mizukosh et al [4] showed that the age distribution peaked at 40-49 years for males, while the peak for females was around 30-39 years [5]. While the age of our patients were similar to elsewhere, we observed a male preponderance which is different from the equal male:female ratio [4] shown in the world literature.…”

The aims of this study are to determine the frequency of patients presenting with Meniere's Disease(MD) in an Indian setting, using the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery (AAO) diagnostic criteria, and to describe the clinical and audio vestibular profiles of these patients. The study was based on prospective case series design in the settings of a tertiary referral hospital. The study included all consecutive patients aged between 5 and 75 years presenting with the history of hearing loss, vertigo, tinnitus and or aural fullness as participants, satisfying inclusion and exclusion criteria for MD (AAO 1995) recruited over a 12 month period. Main outcome measures comprised the evaluation of epidemiological profile, clinical features, and results of audio vestibular investigations like Pure Tone Audiometry with and without glycerol, Impedance Audiometry, Electrocochleography (ECohG), Distortion Product Otoacoustic Emission and Electronystagmography (ENG). The results of the study are as follows: The frequency of MD was 15.6%, being commoner in males than females (2.6:1) and occurring more in the age group 40-49 years among males and 30-39 years among females. High frequency tinnitus was commoner than low frequency tinnitus. Extra tympanic ECohG had a positive predictive value of 76% for endolymphatic hydrops. ENG was useful for demonstrating canal paresis pattern of nystagmus in 61%. Indian patients with MD commonly present to tertiary care at the functional level scale of 3. The results of this study revealed that the frequency of MD is not as low in the Indian ENT setting as earlier believed. There is a high chance of missing cases in the routine ENT outpatient clinic setting unless a structured proforma incorporating the AAO 1995 diagnostic criteria is used.

“…In Japan, the Ménière's Disease Research Committee, supported by the Ministry of Health and Welfare, performed a large-scale epidemiologic study between 1974 and 1976 [2] . It reported a lack of familial occurrence, a higher prevalence of the disease among professionals or engineers than among nonprofessional workers, farmers, or fi shermen, and no difference in environmental factors between patients and control subjects [2] . These results suggest that personal factors, more than environmental factors, are related to the onset of Ménière's disease.…”

“…The prevalence of Ménière's disease ranges from 20 to 80 individuals per 100,000 population, even in developed countries [1][2][3][4][5][6] . It is diffi cult to assess whether this wide variation in statistics results from true differences in the incidence of the disease or from differences in the investigational methods.…”

Purpose: To identify personal causative factors for Ménière’s disease. Procedures: Patterns of hearing loss progression were studied in patients with Ménière’s disease and low-tone sensorineural hearing loss, and the involvement of stress and the relation of stressors to the onset or progression of the disease were analyzed. Results: Low-tone loss recurred in 40% of patients even after hearing was restored, and low-tone loss progressed to high-tone loss after frequent repetitions of recovery and recurrence. High-tone loss tended to proceed to all-tone loss. Eighty percent of patients reported that stress was involved or deeply involved in the onset or progression of the disease. Common causative stressors were business-related pressure, insufficient sleep, and troubles at the workplace or at home. Conclusions: The present findings indicate that recovery and recurrence may be influenced by the strength and duration of stress that is produced when patients do not feel rewarded for engrossment in their work or for self-inhibiting behaviors.

A doença de Ménière é uma patologia crónica do ouvido interno caracterizada por sintomas vestibulares episódicos associados a hipoacusia neurossensorial, acufeno e plenitude auricular. Tendo sido descrita há mais de 150 anos por Prosper Ménière, ainda hoje em dia a sua epidemiologia continua a ser um enorme desafio para os profissionais que tentam compreender melhor esta doença. Desde a Segunda Guerra Mundial que várias sociedades e grupos de estudo têm tentado aprofundar o conhecimento desta patologia, nomeadamente a sua prevalência e incidência. Contudo, devido à dificuldade de uniformização dos critérios de diagnóstico, estes valores apresentam grande variabilidade. Com o seu aparecimento na meia-idade, a doença de Ménière apresenta-se inicialmente como uma doença unilateral, não se encontrando tendência para uma maior expressividade quanto à lateralidade. Com o passar dos anos, verifica-se uma tendência clara para a bilateralidade da doença de Ménière, em que o tempo de envolvimento do ouvido contralateral pode variar de dois meses a mais de 20 anos. Por outro lado, com o passar dos anos, ocorre uma redução no impacto dos sintomas, nomeadamente através de mudanças no estilo de vida e tratamento médico ou cirúrgico. O sistema imunológico, a enxaqueca, a alergia e o sistema nervoso autónomo estão também associados aos doentes com doença de Ménière. De um modo geral, é consensual que existe um maior predomínio da doença de Ménière na raça caucasiana, quanto ao género, um ligeiro predomínio da doença de Ménière no sexo feminino é reportado na grande maioria dos estudos. Evidências epidemiológicas e genómicas suportam uma suscetibilidade genética.
