Meniere's disease is a disorder of the membranous labyrinth of the inner ear manifesting as vertigo, tinnitus, sensory neural hearing loss and aural fullness of known or unknown origin. The aim of this chapter is to estimate the prevalence of Ménière's disease (MD) and its relationship with demographic factors, symptoms and conditions that are known. Few articles have been published on the epidemiology of Meniere's disease from 1975 to 1990, studies from Japan indicated a fairly constant prevalence of 17 cases per 100,000 population. These studies were undertaken by a Research Committee on Meniere's Disease. Kotimaki and colleagues analysed the Finnish population of five million people between 1992 and 1996. A prevalence of 43/100,000 and an average yearly incidence of 4.3/100,000 population were found by the authors. MD is 1-3 times higher in women than in men and also observed a higher prevalence in adulthood and white people. MD seems to be much more common in white adults with higher body mass index categories, in their fourth and fifth decade. However, in recent years, especially in the last decades, there have been several safe and effective medical and surgical therapies for the treatment of the disease and its sequels.

“…The prevalence of Ménière's disease has been reported by numerous investigators to be between 12 and 46 per 100,000 individuals, depending on the geographical localization of study; approximately 15 per 100,000 in the United States, 36 35 per 100.000 in Japan, 37 and 46 per 100,000 in Sweden. 38 The population of Nagoya city where this study was performed is approximately 2 million people; therefore, there are approximately 700-1,000 Ménière's disease patients here, including suburbs.…”

Objective:To evaluate the effect of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy on Ménière's disease patients with concomitant obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS), since recent reports suggest OSAS may cause dysfunction of the vestibular system. Study Design: Prospective study using CPAP administered to patients diagnosed with "Defi nite Ménière's disease" according to the guidelines of the American Academy of OtolaryngologyHead and Neck Surgery and combined with OSAS. Pathologically, Ménière's disease is associated with hydropic distension of the endolymphatic system, but the etiology of such hydrops remains unknown. Episodes of vertigo, which are often accompanied by nausea and vomiting, are the most prominent and disabling features of the disease. The presentation of Ménière's disease is highly variable, and its clinical course is characterized by acute exacerbation and spontaneous remission. [2][3][4] It is well known that insomnia is associated with increased psychological symptomatology and perceived stress, higher predisposition to arousal, and greater impairments to quality of health. [5][6][7] The relationship between Ménière's disease and stress is well documented, but that between Ménière's disease and insomnia is unclear. In our previous report, 8 we fi rst found BRIEF SUMMARYCurrent Knowledge/Study Rationale: Recent reports indicate that OSAS may cause vestibular dysfunction. The current study was designed to determine whether treatment of patients with Ménière's disease and concomitant OSAS using CPAP ameliorate the manifestations of Ménière's disease.

“…15 Shojaku et al constatam que a incidência da DM, em idades superiores a 65 anos, teve um aumento significativo durante o período de 1980 a 2004 e atribuem este aumento não só a uma melhoria na qualidade de vida do idoso, mas também a um aumento da população nessa faixa etária que continua ativa. 21 …”

A doença de Ménière é uma patologia crónica do ouvido interno caracterizada por sintomas vestibulares episódicos associados a hipoacusia neurossensorial, acufeno e plenitude auricular. Tendo sido descrita há mais de 150 anos por Prosper Ménière, ainda hoje em dia a sua epidemiologia continua a ser um enorme desafio para os profissionais que tentam compreender melhor esta doença. Desde a Segunda Guerra Mundial que várias sociedades e grupos de estudo têm tentado aprofundar o conhecimento desta patologia, nomeadamente a sua prevalência e incidência. Contudo, devido à dificuldade de uniformização dos critérios de diagnóstico, estes valores apresentam grande variabilidade. Com o seu aparecimento na meia-idade, a doença de Ménière apresenta-se inicialmente como uma doença unilateral, não se encontrando tendência para uma maior expressividade quanto à lateralidade. Com o passar dos anos, verifica-se uma tendência clara para a bilateralidade da doença de Ménière, em que o tempo de envolvimento do ouvido contralateral pode variar de dois meses a mais de 20 anos. Por outro lado, com o passar dos anos, ocorre uma redução no impacto dos sintomas, nomeadamente através de mudanças no estilo de vida e tratamento médico ou cirúrgico. O sistema imunológico, a enxaqueca, a alergia e o sistema nervoso autónomo estão também associados aos doentes com doença de Ménière. De um modo geral, é consensual que existe um maior predomínio da doença de Ménière na raça caucasiana, quanto ao género, um ligeiro predomínio da doença de Ménière no sexo feminino é reportado na grande maioria dos estudos. Evidências epidemiológicas e genómicas suportam uma suscetibilidade genética.
