Resumen
Objetivo

Combinados con intravenosos, en pacientes con enfermedad de Meniere (EM)

Material y métodos

Se estudiaron 10 pacientes con vértigo debido a EM definitiva en estadios 4-5 ó 6, según los criterios de la American Academy of Otolaryngology (AAO) de 1995. Se infiltró la dexometasona a través de una incisión timpánica, a la vez que por vía intravenosa se inyectó una dosis única de 16 miligramos de dexometasona. Posteriormente se estudió el número de episodios de vértigo entre los meses 18 y 24 del tratamiento y se compara con el número de episodios 6 meses antes del tratamiento

Resultados

En todos los pacientes se produjo una mejoría clínica. En uno se debió repetir el tratamiento a los 6 meses. En un grupo de pacientes se observó un cierto grado de ganancia auditiva

Conclusiones

El uso de dexometasona vía combinada puede ser útil en el control del vértigo en EM para evitar o ser un paso previo a otros tratamientos más agresivos

Palabras clave:

Abstract
Objective

To verify the result in the use of intratympanic corticosteroids, combined with intravenous, in patients with Meniere disease (MD)

Material and methods

Ten patients with vertigo due to MD in stages 4-5 or 6 were included in the study. Combined intratympanic and intravenous dexomethasone was infiltrated. The number of episodes among the months 18 and 24 of treatment, comparing them with the number of episodes 6 months before treatment (according to the norms of the American committee for the hearing and the equilibrium, 1995) are studied

Results

All patients improved significantly. In one of them treatment was repeated after 6 months. A number of patients with hearing improvement were observed

Conclusions

The use of combined dexomethasone may be useful to control vertigo due to MD, to avoid or to be a prior step to other more aggressive treatments

Key words:
Intratympanic dexomethasone
