Abstract

Lermoyez’s syndrome is usually regarded as a rare variant of Meniere’s disease which is characterized by the disappearance of aural symptoms after vertiginous attacks. It is recognized as an uncommon paroxysmal clinical syndrome caused by pathological endolymphatic change in the labyrinth. It is thought that the cause of Lermoyez’s syndrome is due to cochlea hydrops which result from endolymphatic blockage of the ductus reunions. With its distinct characteristic manifestations, the diagnosis is not difficult, but Lermoyez’s syndrome has been rarely reported universally. Otologists are in a whirl about its rare occurrence. We report a unique case of a 46-year-old woman, who showed typical clinical features of Lermoyez’s syndrome with review of literatures. We focused on the sequential clinical change during our observation.
