OBJECTIVE: The main objective was to assess the efficacy of intratympanic dexamethasone injection in controlling vertigo in unilateral Ménière's disease refractory to medical treatment.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective study included 25 patients with disabling unilateral Ménière's disease, defined according to the American Academy of Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery (AAO-HNS) criteria. Patients received intratympanic dexamethasone during the monitoring period. Control of vertigo was classified according to AAO-HNS vertigo control index, at 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years after treatment initiation. Complications and progression of hearing were also assessed.
RESULTS: Satisfactory control (class A or B) was obtained in 92% of patients (n=23/25) at 6 months, 68% (n=17/25) at 1 year, and 70% (n=16/23) at 2 years. There was no worsening of hearing in those patients who were well-controlled by this therapeutic strategy. No local or systemic complications were observed during follow-up.
CONCLUSION: Dexamethasone is part of the management strategy for patients with Ménière's disease refractory to conventional treatment, implemented before destructive treatment. It achieves control of vertigo in 70% of patients at 2 years.
