Secondary Ménières Disease

Zusatztext

The most familiar association of the symptom triad attacks of vertigo, hearing loss and tinnitus is Meniere's disease. However, the classical symptom triad is rarely presented on its own. Accessory symptoms such as headache, neck and jaw pain, pressure and blockage in the ear can be so prominent that they could distract from perceiving what the real condition is. The significance of accessory symptoms is that they could hint to a secondary form of Meniere's disease inferring involvement of other organ structures, but also the chance of a causal therapy. In this book you can find an explanation of how accessory symptoms impact on Meniere's disease and how they could influence function of the inner ear.
