The relationship between the incipient symptoms and the long-term prognosis of Ménière's disease was investigated. Forty-five patients who had been suffering from definite Ménière's disease for more than 5 years were selected as the subjects.These patients were classified into 3 main groups on the basis of the incipient symptoms: the first group with vertigo or dizziness, the second with some cochlear symptoms and the third with symptoms related to the autonomic nervous system.There was a significant difference in the period from the incipient symptom to the active stage of the disease between the vertigo subgroup and the tinnitus subgroup, the latter showing a longer interval.There was also a significant difference in the average age at the first attack of the incipient symptom between the vertigo subgroup and the subgroup with dizziness, the latter being older in age.In the vertigo and tinnitus subgroups, more than three attacks per month occurred during the active stage.
