Abstract
Cerebral Spinal Fluid (CSF) of 22 patients with Meniere's disease was examined regarding pressure, number of cells, protein, glucose, and IgA, G, M and E. Almost of all values were within normal limits.
There were no differences of each mean value and SD between the irritative and paralytic stage and also between Meniere's diseases and labyrinth related syphilis. Regarding the osmolarity of CSF, 5 of 22 patients showed normal values.
Other peripheral vestibular lesions (vestibular neuritis, inner ear vertigo due to unknown causes, Ramsey-Hunt's syndrome and Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada's disease) were considered to be due to viral infections and immunological disorders.
Thus causes of Meniere's disease may not be revealed in the CSF, and the inner ear fluid should be examined.
