ABSTRACT

Lermoyez´ syndrome is an unusual clinical variant of Ménière's disease, because in both pathologies there is a peripheral vascular disorder, what It consists in the dilation of the labyrinthine membranes associated with an increase in the volume of the endolymph. Clinically, they have severe frequency fluctuations of hearing loss, tinnitus and vertigo attacks. FinaIly, it evolves to the deterioration of hearing in all frequencies. Lermoyez´ síndrome, or labyrinthine angiospasm, has an unknown etiopathogeny, although several theories have been proposed, but none explains its nature, nor its clinical course, being one of them the allergy. Their diagnosis is clinical, they present the typical triad (peripheral vertigo crisis with neurosensory hearing loss and tinnitus and/or otic fullness), but they characterised by the improvement in hearing just after a sudden vertigo attack. With the development of the disease, dizziness attacks and hearing recovery become more and more rare, and disappear. Treatment aims to relieve symptoms during crises and improve disease progression. It is present the clinical case of Lermoyez syndrome, in a male patient with allergic pathology, who was diagnosed with Ménière's disease at the beginning. It is a rare syndrome described described in classical ENT (ear-nose-throat)


El síndrome de Lermoyez es una variante clínica inusual de la enfermedad de Ménière. En ambas afecciones existe un trastorno vascular periférico, que consiste en la dilatación de las membranas laberínticas, asociadas con aumento del volumen de la endolinfa. Clínicamente, el individuo presenta fluctuaciones en la audición (hipoacusia neurosensorial en las frecuencias graves), acúfenos y ataques de vértigo. En su evolución final se deteriora la audición en todas las frecuencias. El síndrome de Lermoyez, o angioespasmo laberíntico, tiene una etiopatogenia desconocida, aunque se han propuesto varias teorías, pero ninguna explica su naturaleza ni su curso clínico, y una de ellas es la alergia. Su diagnóstico es clínico, presentan la triada típica (crisis de vértigo periférico con hipoacusia neurosensorial y acúfenos o plenitud ótica), pero el síndrome de Lermoyez se caracteriza por la mejora de la audición tras un ataque brusco de vértigo. Con el avance de la enfermedad, los ataques de vértigo y la recuperación de la audición llegan a ser cada vez más raros, hasta desaparecer. El tratamiento tiene como finalidad aliviar los síntomas durante las crisis y mejorar la evolución de la enfermedad. Se presenta un caso clínico de síndrome de Lermoyez, en un paciente varón con afección alérgica, cuyo diagnóstico de inicio fue de enfermedad de Ménière. Es un síndrome infrecuente, descrito en la otorrinolaringología clásica

ABSTRACT

Evaluar eficacia del procedimiento quirúrgico de descompresión del saco endolinfático (DSE) en mejoramiento de calidad de vida de los pacientes con enfermedad de Meniere intervenidos con DSE utilizando como criterios principales la evaluación de la audición y del vértigo en pacientesatendidos en el Centro Médico Imbanaco entre 2003 y 2007. Materiales y métodos: Estudio de intervención retrospectivo, comparativa (antes-después) en 30 pacientes operados de DSE, se evaluó audición y calidad de vida desde el aspecto de la funcionalidad. Resultados: Mejoría en la calidad de vida de los pacientes operados en los cuales la media de la encuesta del nivel funcional fue de 1.63 mientras que la prequirúrgica fue de 4.06 (p=0.00). No se presentaron cambios significativos en la audición siendo la media de la prequirúrgica de 40.6 y la post de 42.1.


Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of the surgical decompression of the endolymphatic sac (ESD) for the improvement of the quality of life of patients with Meniere’s disease using the patient’s vertigo control and hearing assessment as the main criteria in patients that have been operated on. Materials and methods: We performed a retrospective interventional study, comparative (beforeafter) in 30 patients with ESD at the Imbanaco Medical Center between 2003 and 2007. The quality of life and hearing preservation was assessed from the aspect of functionality. Results: Improvement in the quality of life was evident in patients who were operated on. The average functional level at the survey was 1.63 after the surgical intervention while the preoperative average was 4.06 (p=0.00). There were no significant changes in the hearing level being the preoperative mean of 40.6 and thepostoperative 42.1.

ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to assess the diagnostic value of main frequency of transient evoked otoacoustic emissions for Meniere's disease. The click- evoked transient otoacoustic emissions(TEOAE) in normal subjects and in patients with Meniere' s disease were examined using ILO 88 otodynamic analyzer system to observe the main frequency distrbution. The main frequeencies ranged from 1.2 to 1.6 kHz in normal ears, and from 0.8 to 1. 1 kHz in Meniere' s ears. The main frequency range of normal ears was obviously higher than that in Meniere's ears. After application of glycerol, the main frequencies in some Meniere's ears were shifted from relative low frequency range to relative high frequency range. TEOAE appeared in some Meniere's ears in which TEOAEs could not be evoked before application of glycerol. The results suggest that the TEOAE can be used in the diagnosis of Meniere's disease.
