    Abstract:
    A series of fifteen patients with intractable vertigo from Meniere's disease were treated by endolymphatic sac surgery. Thirteen of the fifteen patients were followed up for more than 6 months with an average of 16 months. Eight of the 13 patients relieved from vertigo and 3 improved. While in half of the patients the tinnitus and pressure feeling were diminished or vanished, only one patient demonstrated a 13 dB hearing loss. The surgical indication for Ménière's disease, the location of the endolymphatic sac and the evaluation of the endolymphatic shunt operation were discussed.
