This study explored the relation between Ménière’s disease and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The ≥40-year-old population of the Korean National Health Insurance Service-Health Screening Cohort was included. In total, 7734 Ménière’s disease patients and 30,936 control participants were enrolled. Control participants were matched for age, sex, income, and region of residence with Ménière’s disease participants. The odds of having Ménière’s disease given a history of COPD were analyzed using conditional logistic regression. Subgroup analyses were conducted according to age, sex, income, and region of residence. The odds of having Ménière’s disease were found to be 1.18-fold higher with a history of COPD than with no history of COPD (95% confidence intervals (CI) = 1.06–1.32, E-value (CI) = 1.64 (1.31)). The ≥60 years old, male, low-income, and rural subgroups showed increased odds of developing Ménière’s disease when a history of COPD was reported. A history of COPD was associated with an increased risk of Ménière’s disease in the adult population.

Object. Aim of our study was to establish some peculiar features of Ménière's Disease (MD) in a group of elderly MD patients, in which the first vertigo spell happened when over 65 years old.Material and Methods. We analyzed a group of 73 younger than 65-years-old and a group of 30 elderly MD patients. All patients underwent a neurotological evaluation, an anamnestic evaluation including a lifetime history of migraine, and blood withdrawal for autoantibody screening.Results. Some differences were found between elderly and younger MD patients. Elderly MD patients presented a higher prevalence of Tumarkin attacks and a lower prevalence of lifetime history of migraine; moreover, they presented a faster develop of hearing loss and vertigo spells than a subgroup of 32 younger patients matched for the duration of illness.Conclusions. Some clinical features of MD in elderly have been pointed out. Particularly, the lower rate of migrainous history and positivity for autoantibodies often associated with MD, in our opinion, support the hypothesis of a vascular disorder acting as a predisposing factor for MD in elderly.

Objective: Describe the clinical characteristics of patients with isolated cochlear endolymphatic hydrops (EH).Study design: Clinical case series.Setting: Tertiary Neurotology referral clinic.Patients: All subjects presenting to a University Neurotology clinic during a 1-year period from July 2015 until August 2016 who had isolated cochlear EH on MRI. Patients with a history of temporal bone surgery prior to the MRI were excluded.Intervention: High-resolution delayed-intravenous contrast MRI.Main outcome measures: Audiometric and vestibular testing, clinical history analysis.Results: 10 subjects demonstrated isolated, unilateral cochlear hydrops on MRI. None of these patients met the criteria for Meniere's disease. Mean age of the group was 66.4 years and most were males (70%). Unilateral aural fullness (70%), tinnitus (80%), and hearing loss (90%) were frequently observed. Only one patient presented with unsteadiness (10%) and one patient had a single isolated spell of positional vertigo 1 month prior to the MRI (10%) but no further vertigo spells in the 4 years following the MRI. The mean PTA was 37.8 dB which was significantly decreased from the non-affected ear with PTA of 17.9 (p < 0.001). One patient developed vertiginous spells and unsteadiness 4 years after initial presentation and a repeat MRI revealed progression to utricular, saccular and cochlear hydrops. Vestibular testing was obtained in five patients with one patient presenting with 50% caloric paresis and all others normal. The most common treatment tried was acetazolamide in seven patients with 86% reporting subjective clinical improvement. Two out of the 10 patients had a history of migraine (20%).Conclusions: Patients with MRI exhibiting isolated cochlear EH present with predominantly auditory symptoms: mild to moderate low-frequency hearing loss, aural fullness, tinnitus without significant vertigo. Isolated cochlear hydrops is more common in males, average age in mid-60's and there is a low comorbidity of migraine headaches. This contrasts significantly with patients with isolated saccular hydrops on MRI from our prior studies. We believe that isolated cochlear EH with hearing loss but no vertigo is distinct from Meniere's disease or its variant delayed endolymphatic hydrops. We propose that cochlear Meniere's disease represents a distinct clinical entity that could be a variant of Meniere's disease.
