Title: Hypothesis: could Meniere's disease be a channelopathy? Author: Gates P. Journal: Intern Med J; 2005 Aug; 35(8):488-9. PubMed ID: 16176473. Abstract: Meniere's disease is a clinical syndrome of uncertain aetiology but it is a widespread belief that it is related to endolymphatic hydrops. Clinically, it is a paroxysmal disorder with vertigo and subsequent deafness. It is responsive to acetazolamide and sensitive to the sodium content in the diet, many of the features of the channelopathies. The present paper explores the possibility that it may be related to a channelopathy.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
