ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Since the Greek Aellus Galenum (129 AD - c.200/c.216), vertigo was considered a problem attributed to a cerebral disorder, diagnosed as the manifestation of apoplectiform cerebral congestion. In the mid-19th century, the Frenchman Prosper Menière changed this concept by placing the origin of this symptom in the inner ear. The main objective of this historical note is to highlight who Menière was, his work, and some aspects of the disease that bears his name.
RESUMO
RESUMO Desde o grego Aellus Galenum (129 d.C. - c.200/c.216), a vertigem era considerada um problema atribuído a um distúrbio cerebral, diagnosticado como a manifestação de uma 'congestão cerebral apoplectiforme'. Em meados do século 19, o francês Prosper Menière mudou esse conceito, colocando a origem desse sintoma na orelha interna. O principal objetivo desta nota histórica é ressaltar quem foi Menière, seu trabalho e alguns aspectos da doença que leva seu nome.
