The authors encountered a patient with Ménière′s disease with a protracted clinical course. She was treated at an outpatient clinic for about 11 years and was therefore available for continued observation. One of the stresses that she suffered was a change in her work situation. Because the frequency of the episodes of Ménière′s disease increased after she had changed her job, it was suspected that an altered environment or her new employment might have played a role in triggering this disease. Furthermore, the entrance examination for her son, an only child, had a relatively significant impact because a typical example of Ménière′s disease complete with recurrent vertigo and tinnitus and a hearing disorder of increasing intensity developed during the period leading up to this examination.<BR>The reasoning behind the delay in starting a more definitive treatment of Ménière′s disease in the present case may be : the same medication had been given for a long time without actively seeking the cause of the disease ; a less than ideal rapport between the patient and her physician ; and the absence of an appropriate response and treatment in spite of notable changes in the patient′s environment. It was believed that a prolonged clinical course without active treatment is at least partly responsible for the exacerbation of her otological symptoms, difficulty in easing other symptoms, and hindrance in providing psychological support to the patient.
