In order to contribute to the knowledge of the possible causes of Ménière's disorder, the authors have conducted systematic studies based on blood analysis and on petrous bone radiological examinations in patients suffering from unilateral Ménière's disorder and in two control groups, one of patients with unilateral sudden sensorineural deafness and the other one of normally hearing subjects suffering from neurological diseases. Blood tests have revealed systemic disorders (dyslipidosis, hypoglycaemia, hyperglycaemia, hypothyroidism lues) in 49%, 48% and in 50% of the subjects respectively with Ménière's disorder, with sudden deafness, and with normal hearing. As to the radiological study, changes of the temporal bone (absence or small cells pneumatization and/or absence or narrowing of the vestibular aqueduct) were found in 78% of ears with Ménière's disorder, in 34% of ears with sudden deafness and in 46% of normal ears.
为了增进对梅尼埃病可能病因的了解，作者对单侧梅尼埃病患者以及两个对照组进行了基于血液分析和颞骨放射学检查的系统研究，其中一个对照组是单侧突发性感音神经性聋患者，另一个对照组是患有神经系统疾病的听力正常受试者。血液检测分别在49%的梅尼埃病患者、48%的突发性聋患者和50%的听力正常受试者中发现了全身性疾病（血脂异常、低血糖、高血糖、甲状腺功能减退、梅毒）。至于放射学研究，在78%的梅尼埃病患耳、34%的突发性聋患耳和46%的正常耳中发现了颞骨改变（气房缺如或小气房形成和/或前庭导水管缺如或狭窄）。
