Evaluation of Vestibular Functions in a Case of Vestibular Migraine With Successful Treatment With Erenumab
Ear Nose Throat J. 2023 Sep 25:1455613231202200. doi: 10.1177/01455613231202200. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThis is the first report of vestibular examinations before and after the successful treatment of vestibular migraine (VM), a common cause of recurrent vertigo, with calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor inhibitor. We evaluated a 42-year-old female with VM and concomitant probable Meniere's disease, whose headache and dizziness have improved promptly with the administration of erenumab, a CGRP receptor inhibitor. The sensorineural hearing loss in pure-tone audiometry, dysfunctions shown in vestibular exam...

Meniere's disease: Pathogenesis, treatments, and emerging approaches for an idiopathic bioenvironmental disorder
Environ Res. 2023 Aug 28:116972. doi: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.116972. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMeniere's disease (MD) is a severe inner ear condition known by debilitating symptoms, including spontaneous vertigo, fluctuating and progressive hearing loss, tinnitus, and aural fullness or pressure within the affected ear. Prosper Meniere first described the origins of MD in the 1860s, but its underlying mechanisms remain largely elusive today. Nevertheless, researchers have identified a key histopathological feature called Endolymphatic Hydrops (ELH), which refers to the excessive buildup of endolymph fluid in the membrano...

Findings of Intravenous Gadolinium Inner Ear MRI in Patients with Acute Low-Tone Sensorineural Hearing Loss
CONCLUSION: Our study showed that the cochlear hydrops ratio, especially in the apex area on the affected side, was significantly higher in patients with ALHL, indicating that EH in the cochlea contributes to the pathogenesis of ALHL.PMID:37641856 | DOI:10.21053/ceo.2023.00486 (Source: Clinical and Experimental Otorhinolaryngology)

Endolymphatic hydrops imaging and correlation with clinical characteristics, audiovestibular function and mental impairment in patients with Meniere ’s disease
ConclusionEndolymph-enhancing MRI was used as an important imaging method for the diagnosis of labyrinthine hydrops in Meniere ’s disease. There were certain correlation between EH and the degree of vertigo attack, hearing loss level, vestibular function, and further changes in anxiety and depression emotion.

Spontaneous Intracranial Hypotension: An Uncommon Cause of Postural Vestibulocochlear Symptoms
We present a case series that highlights the common vestibulocochlear symptoms and a review of the literature to increase awareness amongst otolaryngologists and highlight the path to diagnosis and management of this condition.PMID:37596853 | DOI:10.1177/01455613231194431 (Source: Ear, Nose and Throat Journal)

Normal Serum Levels of Otolin-1 in Patients with Meniere Disease in Remission
Conclusion The current study reveals that the serum levels of Otolin-1 are not significantly different between the patients with MD in the interictal phase and the control group's healthy ones.

Iatrogenic inner ear dehiscence associated with lateral skull base surgery: a systematic analysis of drilling injuries and their causal factors
ConclusionsInappropriate drill depth, errant lateral drilling, inadequate drill trajectory, or a combination of these led to iatrogenic IED. Image-based segmentation, individualized 3D anatomical model generation, and geometric and volumetric analyses can optimize operative plans and possibly reduce inner ear breaches from lateral skull base surgery.
