Abstract |
A MEDLINE review of Menière's disease for the years 1983 through June, 1989 identified over 300 articles published in the English language. These articles have been reviewed, and those which represent significantly new or different findings from a previously published review article are summarized. Specific studies have been selected to highlight new areas of interest as well as new areas of controversy. Major trends in the period from 1983 through 1989 include a new AAO-HNS criteria for reporting results in Menière's disease, expanding interest in the relationship between immune disorders and Menière's disease, and new long-term studies of endolymphatic shunt procedures, with many reporting that these procedures provide only short-term relief and no long-term preservation of hearing.
