  • Title: [The role of immunological factors in Meniere's disease].
    Author: Krzeska-Malinowska I, Held-Ziółkowska M, Kowalska M, Niemczyk K.

    Abstract:
    Involvement of the immunological mechanisms in the pathogenesis of Meniere's disease has been discussed over the past two decades. Nevertheless, we lack well-defined laboratory tests that might confirm the autoimmune background of the disorder. Therefore the diagnosis is often based solely on the patient's clinical profile and the positive response to the immunosuppressive therapy. In this article we present a case of 44 year-old woman with Meniere's disease successfully treated with systemic glucocorticoids. The pathogenesis, diagnosis and management of immune-mediated cases of Meniere's disease are reviewed.
