Clinical study of Meniere's disease in the outpatient vertigo clinic at Kyoto Medical Center
The details of the patients who visited the vertigo outpatient department of the Kyoto Medical Center were retrospectively investigated from the medical records. Most of the first-visit patients were benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) patients, followed by Meniere's disease patients. The number of patients tended to be less in February and August. In addition, many patients who were first diagnosed with Meniere's disease were seen in spring. We also examined the details of vertigo attacks in 107 patients who were diagnosed with Meniere's disease and had been followed up for more than 6 months. As a result, about 40% of Meniere's disease patients had BPPV-like attacks, and 55% of all vertigo attacks were considered to be BPPV-like vertigo attacks. As for the lesion semicircular canals, there were many lateral semicircular canals and posterior semicircular canals, and no clear difference was observed between them. In terms of treatment, 13% received regular oral medications, but 65% did not receive any medication. In conclusion,
about 40% of patients with Meniere’s disease suffered from benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV)-like attacks and more than 50% of all vertigo attacks were BPPV-like attacks. Thus, vertigo attacks in patients diagnosed as Meniere’s disease must be carefully treated because the therapy for such vertigo attacks is totally different from the therapy for BPPV. It is necessary to conduct a detailed interview and carefully examine the patient condition, keeping in mind the possibility of BPPV.departmental bulletin pape
