Among 93 patients presenting the typical symptoms of a Ménière's disease associating an unilateral fluctuating hearing loss of sensorineural type, tinnitus and vertiginous attacks lasting minutes to hours, 40 patients (43%) presented in their personal history a particular otologic insult in the ear which later on developed into the full Ménière's symptomatology, or a particular systemic disease with otologic manifestations. The Ménière's triad appeared in these patients six months to twenty nine years after the initial otologic or systemic lesion. Among these initial lesions were 16 cases of sudden partial or complete deafness related to viral or bacterial infection, 3 cases of sudden cochleo-vestibular deficit and 1 case of vestibular neuritis, 5 cases of temporal bone fractures and 4 cases of significant acoustic trauma, 2 cases of otosclerosis, 1 case of chronicotitis media and 1 case of severe hearing loss after otologic surgery, 5 cases of meningo-encephalitis and 2 cases of acquired syphilis. These particular lesion could be, in our opinion, the releasing factor of the inner ear dysfonction leading eventually to a secondary Ménière's syndrome.
