Abstract
The results of wide bony decompression of the posterior fossa in 49 consecutive individuals with idiopathic unilateral Meniere's disease are reported. These results are similar to many previously published series, 71% of individuals are free of vertigo and 86% have unchanged or improved hearing. Utilizing the classification proposed by the American Academy of Ophthalmology and Otolaryngology, 73% fell into Class A, B, or C with relief of vertigo. These results together with the low complication rate encourages us to consider surgery at an earlier date, hoping to stabilize hearing at a more useful level and to relieve vertigo.
