“…The bibliography is exceptionally useful. Mygind (83), and Mygind and Dederding (84), give clinical pictures of the Meniere syndrome, including descriptions of the principal types of nystagmus. Helsmoortel (50) and Portmann, Despons and Retrouvey (101) describe the relation between encephalitis and residuary lesions of the vestibular tracts.…”

132 papers are reviewed in some detail. They include: general surveys; apparatus and methods of stimulating, including rotational, surgical, galvanic, caloric, pressure, and drugs; perceptual functions, as auditory localization and perception of movements; modes of response, as ocular, general tonus, and postural reflexes; anatomical and physiological, the functions of the otoliths and of eye muscles; clinical and pathological studies of hereditary factors, syndromes, and special factors such as encephalitis.

“…Clinicians and scientists have proposed many hypotheses of potential causes, including faulty salt metabolism and immune and autonomic nervous system dysfunction, among others, each leading to novel therapies that have fluctuated in popularity. [2][3][4] As knowledge of human anatomy and the autonomic nervous system advanced in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, theories of autonomic dysregulation were readily applied to many medical conditions. 5 Clinicians reasoned that sympathetic mediated vasomotor changes led to hypertension, ischemia, and tissue damage.…”

ObjectiveThis narrative review examines how speculative belief that the autonomic nervous system causes Meniere's Disease (MD) led otolaryngologists to adopt invasive surgical procedures and medical treatments still offered today.Data SourcesGoogle Scholar, PubMed.Review MethodsA comprehensive literature review (1860–2022) was performed using the terms “Meniere AND (sympathetic OR sympathectomy OR vasomotor OR cervical ganglion),” returning 5360 items. All abstracts were briefly reviewed, relevant publications selected for further study, and key articles discussed by all authors. As it became clear that betahistine was related to the historical narrative, an additional search was performed using “Betahistine AND Meniere AND (vasomotor OR sympathetic OR sympathectomy OR cervical ganglion OR autonomic),” which yielded 336 results.ResultsIn the 19th and 20th centuries, growing knowledge of human anatomy led the scientific community to speculate that autonomic dysregulation caused many medical conditions. Excessive sympathetic mediated vasomotor changes were thought to cause hypertension, ischemia, and tissue damage. Clinicians applied the hypothesis to MD, assigning the sympathetic nervous system responsible for vertigo secondary to paroxysmal vasospasm and for hearing loss to poor cochlear nutrition. Despite limited animal experiments and isolated clinical observations, otolaryngologists performed sympathectomies, and, in the 1970s, replaced the procedure with betahistine as an alternative medical treatment.ConclusionPremature excitement about a plausible hypothesis led to unnecessary and unwarranted operations. Despite absent evidence of sympathetic overactivation in MD, surgeons eagerly adopted sympathectomies, and later betahistine. Rigorous evaluation of the validity of these treatment practices is needed.Level of EvidenceLevel 5 Laryngoscope, 2023
