The effect of intra-tympanic dexamethasone on the vestibular function in patients with recurrent vertigo.

Conclusion: The low clinical efficacy of the treatment for patients included in this work correlates with no noticeable effect on the vestibular function.

Objective: To assess follow-up in patients with idiopathic and secondary Ménière's disease after treatment with intra-tympanic dexamethasone and correlate clinical findings with changes in the vestibular-ocular reflex elicited after stimulation of each of the six semicircular canals.

Methods: This is a single center retrospective review of patients presenting the clinical symptomatology of Meniérè's disease treated with intra-tympanic dexamethasone.
