Abstract
As a causal condition of vertigenous attacks in Meniere's, the labile reaction of the autonomic nervous system has been considered to contribute a fundamental role.To assess the close correlation between the autonomic nerve and vestibular system, a new thermal test of the hand immersed in water at 20°C and 45°C was employed as an autonomic stimulus to the patients with atypical Meniere's disease. Spontaneous nystagmus was elicited in 40 to 70% of the patients during stimulation. Only 20% of the same group showed normal values in Schellong's test.These appears to be a complicated correlation between neural mechanisms and vegetative-somatoreactions.
