    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To record and analyze the vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMP) in Meniere's disease. METHOD: VEMP in 15 patients diagnosed as Meniere's disease were investigated and made out different kinds of manifestation of VEMP. The results of VEMP were compared with these caloric test. RESULT: The wave of p13 and n23 appeared 100% in normal subjects, but only appeared 30% in Meniere's disease. There were 3 kinds of manifestation of VEMP-normal response, bilateral no response and lower amplitude in hydrops side. CONCLUSION: Membranous hydrops in Meniere's disease may damage the saccular function and VEMP test may be helpful for diagnosis of Meniere's disease.
