Abstract
A patient with Meniere's disease, who had been treated with medication without effect, was successfully treated with stellate ganglion block, but the patient had a relapse of Meniere's disease on pregnancy.
We presume Meniere's disease recurs on pregnancy, due to the increase of blood volume during pregnancy. Although mepibacaine easily flow through the placenta, it is not retained in the fetal tissue. Therefore we may treat with stellate ganglion block even throughout pregnancy, if it is necessary.
