レルモワイエ症候群例

Abstract

A 56-year-old female complained of vertigo, hearing impairment and tinnitus. The diagnosis was Meniere's disease. One day she again complained of vertigo and visited our hospital for emergency treatment. Her hearing was improved during the vertigo attack, so she was considered to have Lermoyez's syndrome. She was examined by electrocochleography both during this attack of vertigo and about 6 months earlier when she was not complaining of vertigo. Positive SPs were recorded both times. Since a positive SP is often seen in patients with Meniere's disease, we thought that it indicated Lermoyez's syndrome, one of the subgroup of Meniere's diseases.
