  • Title: Pharmacological treatment of immune-mediated inner ear disorders. A clinical immunology and audiology survey.
    Author: Veldman JE.
    Journal: Scand Audiol Suppl; 1986; 26():21-6. PubMed ID: 3472327.
    Abstract:
    Cellular and humoral immune reactions may play an etiologic role in an audio-vestibular dysfunction. That immune-mediated inner ear disorders can both be of cochlear and retro-cochlear origin is illustrated on the basis of immunological, immunopathological and audiological data of three case reports, completely differing in their pathogenesis. Autoimmunity may play a certain role, but not in all cases. Anti-inflammatory treatment (corticosteroids) remains the mainstay in therapy.
