OBJECTIVE: Assess the relative efficacy and results of the round window hyaluronic acid pledget depot method for intratympanic gentamicin delivery in Ménière's disease.
STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective case review.
SETTING: Tertiary referral hospital.
PATIENTS: Prospective symptomatic and audiologic data were collected on 28 patients undergoing intratympanic gentamicin therapy for Ménière's disease refractory to medical treatment between 2003 and 2009.
INTERVENTION: All patients had the round window membrane exposed via a tympanomeatal flap, and any adhesions were removed. Hyaluronic acid pledgets soaked in 40 mg/ml of gentamicin were then packed into the round window niche and posterior mesotympanum, and the tympanomeatal flap was replaced.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Patients audiologic and vertigo symptom outcome scores were recorded at follow-up according to the AAO-HNS 1995 guidelines for reporting results in Ménière's disease.
RESULTS: Complete or substantial improvement in vertigo (class A or B) was achieved in 88.5% (23/26) of patients. Hearing loss, defined as greater than 10 dB (PTA average at 0.5, 1, 2, and 4 kHz) was noted in 12 (50%) of 24 patients including 4 patients who had developed "dead ears" (16%). The average hearing loss for all patients excluding the 4 patients with dead ears was 10.7 dB.
CONCLUSION: Round window hyaluronic acid pledget technique used as a sustained delivery vehicle for intratympanic gentamicin treatment for Ménière's disease produces similar rates of vertigo control compared with other techniques but a greater risk of hearing loss. We would recommend the intratympanicinjection titration technique as first line for most patients.
