Abstract
The diagnosis and medical therapy of Meniere''s syndrome are discussed. A series of 30 cases of Meniere''s syndrome was treated by intracranial section of the vesti-bular nerve without a death. The vertiginous attacks were eliminated in all but four cases, in two of which isolated spells occurred at seven months and six years respectively after operation, and in the other two very mild attacks continued postoperatively. The relief of tinnitus was associated with an increased impairment of hearing; elimination of the vertigo, however, did not show this relationship.Keywords
