Dizziness and vertigo are symptoms related to peripheral vestibular disorders. These are among the most common complaints in medical offices, and knowledge of the major diseases affecting this system is of fundamental importance to the specialist in otolaryngology. In recent years, great advances have been made in otoneurology, which, coupled with increasing knowledge in the field of neurosciences, have substantially modified the approach of the patient with balance complaints. This book studies the most polemic of these vestibular diseases, the Meniere's disease.

Neuro-Otology: a volume in the Handbook of Clinical Neurology series, provides a comprehensive translational reference on the disorders of the peripheral and central vestibular system. The volume is aimed at serving clinical neurologists who wish to know the most current established information related to dizziness and disequilibrium from a clinical, yet scholarly, perspective. This handbook sets the new standard for comprehensive multi-authored textbooks in the field of neuro-otology. The volume is divided into three sections, including basic aspects, diagnostic and therapeutic management, and neuro-otologic disorders. Internationally acclaimed chapter authors represent a broad spectrum of areas of expertise, chosen for their ability to write clearly and concisely with an eye toward a clinical audience. The Basic Aspects section is brief and covers the material in sufficient depth necessary for understanding later translational and clinical material. The Diagnostic and Therapeutic Management section covers all of the essential topics in the evaluation and treatment of patients with dizziness and disequilibrium. The section on Neuro-otologic Disorders is the largest portion of the volume and addresses every major diagnostic category in the field. - Synthesizes widely dispersed information on the anatomy and physiology of neuro-otologic conditions into one comprehensive resource - Features input from renowned international authors in basic science, otology, and neuroscience - Presents the latest assessment of the techniques needed to diagnose and treat patients with dizziness, vertigo, and imbalance - Provides the reader with an updated, in-depth review of the clinically relevant science and the clinical approach to those disorders of the peripheral and central vestibular system

"Of the most common recurrent vestibulopathies (Meniere's Disease, Vestibular Neuronitis, Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo), Meniere's Disease has received the most attention because of the sensorineural hearing loss and tinnitus that is also present. Furthermore, the description of endolymphatic hydrops (EH) in the temporal of MD has provided some insight to its cause. Unfortunately, the various medical and surgical methods used to reduce this EH have failed to relieve the symptoms of MD. EH has come to be regarded as a marker of the pathophysiology result of a viral labyrinthitis. Close examination of human TB specimens from patients with MD, VN and BPPV by light and electron-microscopy has revealed changes in the 7th and 8th cranial nerves produced by neurotropic viral organisms of the herpes family. Re-activation of these viruses in the vestibular ganglion with release of toxic nucleic acids into the peri lymphatic space produces a serous labyrinthitis responsible for the symptoms of MD. We have documentation of recovery of hearing loss in almost half of the patients with MD. In this book the work of more than 20 years documents this evidence"--

The story he shares his own very personal account from his desk to the pages of 'A Memoir Of Meniere's Disease' to you. ABOUT THE MENIERE MAN SERIES: When the Author was diagnosed with Meniere's, his ENT specialist handed him an A4 leaflet and told him to keep away from stress and to not eat salt. That was it! There were no books on the subject in bookstores or libraries. The internet was in its infancy - you couldn't even send an email. The Author was determined to avoid surgery and invasive medical options.Yet, with an information void, he had no clear directions. He had no choice, but to take recovery into his own hands. Armed with hope, determination and a positive attitude, he recorded daily accounts of what worked and didn't work, until he amassed five years of handwritten diaries, daily journals and notebooks. Once he recovered health, he was determined to ensure no one else should find themselves diagnosed with an "incurable illness" and with no consistent, insightful information. He thought deeply about the far-reaching effects of what he and his family had just been through. He believed that life-changing events happen for good reason. Using his personal experience of battling Meniere symptoms and making a recovery, he decided to write a series of coherent books to cover every aspect of this multifaceted condition from his point of view. On completion of his first manuscript 'A Memoir Of Meniere's Disease', three years later, he presented it to his two ENT specialists to review. Both professionals said, the insights gained on how to manage Meniere's, that this book was invaluable from a patients' perspective. Even medical people would benefit from his experience, they believed. Since publishing the first self-help memoir and a complete series of self-help books, during the past seven years, the Author's experiences and personal insights; his coherent and consistent information, helps make the world for Meniere's sufferers, a less frightening place than it once was.
