Abstract: (483 Views)
Meniere's disease is characterized by recurrent episodes of vertigo, sensorineural hearing loss, tinnitus, and aural fullness, with endolymphatic hydrops being the most significant histopathological change associated with the condition. The etiology of Meniere's disease and the connection between its symptoms and endolymphatic hydrops remain unclear and controversial. Approximately 3% of patients with Meniere's disease are pediatric, leading to a scarcity of studies focused on this demographic. This report presents a rare case of Meniere's disease in a child. The patient was a 14-year-old girl who visited the Echo Hearing-Balance Clinic in Mashhad, reporting hearing loss and tinnitus. Evaluations revealed low-frequency hearing loss, and MRI results were completely normal. A comprehensive assessment, including medical history, audiological findings, electrophysiological tests, and vestibular evaluations, indicated a diagnosis of Meniere's disease.
