anyone out there know how to differentiate labryinthitis from Meniere's disease? Is it just with a h/o URI for labyrinthitis? So lostttt....

  #2

Menieres disease presents with episodic vertigo, tinnitus ,sensorineural hearing loss &is more common in females &occurs in patients with syphilis or following head trauma.
Labyrinthitis usually has a h/o URI

  #3

thanks s2006. One last question....if MRI/CT shows no abnormalities then you can rule out an acoustic neuroma as a cause right?

  #4

MRI/CT IF NO ABNL THEN U CAN R/O ACOUSTIC NEUROMA.
ACOUSTIC NEUROMA CAN PRODUCE VERTIGO ,TINNITUS OR NEUROLOGICAL SIDE EFFECTS

  #5

Acoustic neuroma also has nausea, in the morning or also when changing positions.
