Even more than a century after the first description of Ménière's disease, Portmann (1927) said: 'Ménière's is one of the least understood disorders both by doctors in general and specialists. It is variable in clinical presentation, imprecise in diagnosis, and because the effectiveness of treatment is doubtful, leaves the clinician disillusioned, depriving the patient of the potential cure that has become the rule.'
即使在梅尼埃病首次被描述后的一个多世纪，波特曼（1927年）仍表示：“梅尼埃病是普通医生和专科医生了解最少的疾病之一。其临床表现多变，诊断不精确，而且由于治疗效果存疑，让临床医生感到失望，使患者无法获得本应成为常规的潜在治愈方法。”
