Membrane labyrinth

Ménière disease, also known as labyrinthine hydrops, is a disease of the inner ear that is caused by paroxysmal vertigo, fluctuating deafness, and tinnitus. In 1861, the French scholar Ménière first discovered that the labyrinth disease can cause dizziness, tinnitus, and hearing loss through autopsy. However, the case reported by Ménière actually died of hemorrhage in the inner ear of leukemia, rather than what is now called membrane labyrinth. The disease is usually monotonic, more common in young adults.
