M 6 niire ' s Disease ls a Viral Neuropathy
نویسنده
چکیده
Morphological and clinical evidence supports a viral neuropathy in M6nidre's disease (MD). Quantitative examination of 11 sectioned temporal bones (TBs) from 8 patients with a history of MD revealed a significant loss of vestibular ganglion cells in both the endolymph hydropic (EH) and non-EH ears. Transmission electron microscopy of vestibular ganglion cells excised from a patient with MD revealed viral particles enclosed in transport vesicles. Antiviral treatment controlled vertigo in73 of 86 patients with vestibular neuronitis (857o) and 32 of 35 patients with MD (91Vo). Copyright @ 2009 S. Karger AG, Basel
