🎥 Ménière’s Disease Explained | Causes, Symptoms & Pathophysiology

Ménière’s disease is a chronic disorder of the inner ear that affects both hearing and balance. It is caused by abnormal accumulation of endolymphatic fluid in the labyrinth, leading to episodic dysfunction of vestibular and cochlear systems.

📌 Key Features:
• Recurrent episodes of vertigo (spinning sensation)
• Tinnitus (ringing in the ear)
• Fluctuating sensorineural hearing loss
• Sensation of ear fullness or pressure

🧠 Pathophysiology:
Excess endolymph increases pressure in the inner ear → disrupts vestibular signaling → causes vertigo and imbalance. Cochlear involvement leads to hearing impairment.

⚠️ Clinical Course:
• Episodes last minutes to hours
• Often unilateral in early stages
• May progress to persistent hearing loss over time

🩺 Management Overview:
• Low salt diet
• Diuretics
• Vestibular suppressants during attacks
• Lifestyle modification (stress/caffeine reduction)
• Severe cases: intratympanic therapy or surgery

📍 Ménière’s disease is most commonly seen in adults aged 40–60 years and has no definitive cure, but symptoms can be effectively controlled.
