To investigate the long-term efficacy of semicircular canal occlusion in the treatment of refractory Meniere's disease. Fifteen patients with Meniere's disease who underwent semicircular canal occlusion were reviewed. The preoperative and postoperative frequency of vertigo ,quality of life, hearing and tinnitus level were compared. All patients were followed for more than 24 months. Postoperatively, vertigo was controlled effectively in all 15 cases, and the control rate was 100%, of which 11 cases were completely controlled（Grade A） and 4 cases were basically controlled（Grade B）. The improvement rate of quality of life was 100%. The hearing worse in 4 cases（26.7%） and stabilized in 11 cases（73.3%）. The tinnitus was relieved in 7 cases（46.7%）, unchanged in 7 cases（46.7%） and aggravated in 1 case（6.7%）. Semicircular canal occlusion can effectively control the vertigo symptoms of refractory Meniere's disease and improve the quality of life. The long-term efficacy of semicircular canal occlusion is definite, but there is a risk of hearing loss.

To analyse the 3D-Flair MRI manifestations of the inner ear, vestibular function status, and their correlation with hearing treatment outcomes in patients with severe sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL), and to explore potential prognostic indicators for sudden deafness. The clinical data of adult patients with unilateral profound sudden sensorineural hearing loss were retrospectively analyzed in Otorhinolaryngology Department of Shandong Provincial ENT Hospital from March 2018 to August 2020. Patients were categorized based on the results of their inner ear 3D-Flair MRI into two groups: the normal MRI group and the abnormal MRI group.

Purpose: To compare vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) gain values, gain symmetry between the semicircular canals (SCCs), and saccadic parameters in patients with a nosological diagnosis of Ménière's disease (MD) and vestibular migraine (VM).
Methods: Observational, descriptive, cross-sectional, retrospective study, approved by the Research Ethics Committee, under evaluation report number 4.462.

Introduction: It is unknown whether prodromal dizziness (PD) before an attack of vestibular neuritis (VN) has an association with peripheral vestibular lesions. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the severity of vestibular dysfunction has an association with the presence of PD.
Methods: We reviewed the medical records of 88 consecutive unilateral VN patients with unilateral canal paresis in caloric testing.

Background: The Epley or Semont maneuver is performed for posterior canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (PC-BPPV). The postural crisis indicates the phenomenon that the patient experiences severe dizziness, is unable to maintain the sitting posture, and suddenly falls backward or sideways on the examination table when returning to the sitting position, which is the final step of the canalith repositioning procedure (CRP). The postural crisis increases the risk of falls during CRP.

Introduction: The tympanic cavity contains three tiny bones, the malleus, incus, and stapes, which have a fundamental role in the transmission of sound. Recent research emphasizes the use of CBCT for the anatomic study of the temporal bone. The information about middle ear anatomy on CBCT scans is meager; hence, this retrospective study was conducted to identify and determine the various morphometrical parameters of the malleus using CBCT which can be helpful during reconstructive procedures for the otologic surgeon.
