Abstract


Meniere's disease is an idiopathic disease involving the inner ear, which is characterized by fluctuating low frequency sensorineural hearing loss, tinnitus, aural fullness, and recurrent vertigo. We could see the Meniere's disease without vestibular symptom in some cases. These cases have been reported as atypical (Cochlear) Meniere's disease. We have evaluated a patient of atypical Meniere's disease followed as sudden hearing loss with fluctuating low tone type sensorineural hearing loss without vertigo. Sudden deafness, cochlear sensorineural hearing loss, chronic progressive sensorineural hearing loss, presenile presbycusis, noise induced and autoimmune sensorineural hearing loss may be confused in diagnosis of Meniere disease.

Key Words: Atypical Meniere Disease; Hearing Loss; Diagnosis.
