Abstract
- Vestibular neurectomy is known as an effective procedure in the management of intractable peripheral vertigo from Meniere's disease and other episodic peripheral vertigo disorders. Various approaches have been developed for selectively sectioning the vestibular nerve, in order to preserve hearing and avoid facial nerve injury. Vestibular neurectomy is performed in two patients with Meniere's disease to control intractable episodic vertigo through retrolabyrinthine approach. Vertigo was improved with preserving their hearing. We report the surgical technique and advantages of retrolabyrinthine vestibular neurectomy in the treatment of vertigo.
