Positive pressure therapy (PPT) is applied for medically-intractable vertigo in Ménière's disease (MD); however, it remains unknown whether PPT affects in vivo endolymphatic hydrops (EH). In this case report, we describe a 5-year course of MD in a patient in which EH was repeatedly observed. As the patient experienced recurrent vertigo attacks after endolymphatic sac surgery, he began to use the PPT device additionally and vertiginous episodes decreased in accordance with a decrease in the EH volume. The mechanism of PPT is suggested that the pressure increase in the middle ear inhibits EH development. PPT, if added after surgery, might be more effective to reduce EH volume compared with surgery alone. A larger study group size is required to test these preliminary data concerning EH changes.

Educational objectives: To find a straightforward strategy in dealing with vertigo in patients with Meniere's disease who failed medical treatment, and to be familiar with fine points of surgical procedures, including endolymphatic sac surgery, cochleostomy, vestibular nerve sections, and labyrinthectomy.
