“…The incidence of MD affecting bilateral ears has been shown in the literature to be approximately 30%. 8,9 Greven and Oosterveld reported that as high as 73% of patients with MD experience tinnitus or hearing loss of the contralateral ear. 10 A study in Japan performed histological analysis of temporal bones and found the incidence of bilateral MD to be 30%.…”

Objectives: To analyze the incidence of developing contralateral Ménière's disease (MD) in patients who undergo labyrinthectomy for vestibular dysfunction in unilateral MD. Study Design: Retrospective chart review. Participants and Methods: Adult patients with a diagnosis of MD who underwent surgical labyrinthectomy with minimum follow-up of 12 months were included. Patients who experienced chemical labyrinthectomy, surgical labyrinthectomy for a diagnosis other than MD, contralateral ear surgery, or bilateral MD before the labyrinthectomy were excluded. The key outcome measure is whether symptoms of MD developed in the contralateral ear post-labyrinthectomy. Statistical analysis was performed using w 2 (Fisher exact) test for discrete variables and the Student t test for continuous variables. A P value < .05 was considered significant. Results: Of the140 patients who underwent labyrinthectomy for intractable vertigo due to unilateral MD, 84 had at least 1 year follow-up appointments. Twelve percent (10/84) of these patients developed contralateral MD, which was diagnosed by a neuro-otologist based on symptoms consistent with MD, including low-frequency sensorineural hearing loss. Average age in years is 63.12 (10.83; mean [SD]) at time of surgery. Average follow-up was 35.57 (15.89) months (range: 12-69 months). Conclusion: The incidence of contralateral MD development in patients who underwent labyrinthectomy for unilateral MD is 12%. The current literature states that MD has a 30% bilateral involvement rate. Our incidence is significantly lower when compared to the current literature.
