ABSTRACT
Meniere's disease in children is characterised with a hard and long-term diagnostic course, for which there is no accurate classification and treatment plan. A patient may undergo severe discomfort and long-term contraction of the disease. We experienced a 13-year-old female suffering from recurrent dizziness, and found that she had hearing loss, and tinnitus on her right ear. We diagnosed it as possible meniere's disease, but the disease progressed despite a trial of medication. The patient then underwent an endolymphatic sac decompression. During 6 months after the operation, she has shown only mild, intermittent dizzy symptoms, without severe vertigo. We report this clinical experience with a brief review of literature.
