ISNVD WEBINAR SERIES – October 22, 2020

ISNVD WEBINAR SERIES – October 22, 2020
The International Society for Neurovascular Diseases (ISNVD) invites you to attend a webinar meeting on “Meniere’s Disease: Status of the Art and Neurovascular Disease” via Zoom. The ISNVD is dedicated to the dissemination and review of new concepts in etiopathogenesis, novel diagnostics, and therapeutic strategies in various neurovascular diseases.

About this webinar meeting:
Meniere’s Disease is a chronic disease that affects the inner ear and is related to the presence of endolymphatic hydrops. It is characterized by four symptoms: mono or bilateral hearing impairment, tinnitus, aural fullness, and acute recurrent vertigo spells.

Besides what is known about Meniere’s Disease, this webinar meeting will discuss the current uncertainties of Meniere’s Disease:
A. Etiology: The multifactorial origin of Meniere’s disease.
B. Pathogenesis: The multiple causes that determines the condition of cellular toxicity on non-receptorial cells of the inner ear, particularly those of the vascular stroma and of the endolymphatic sac.
C. Therapy: While intratympanic injection and surgical treatment are reserved for the cases not otherwise controlled, there are currently no existing conservative medical therapy that shows efficacy in treating the disease, which reflects the etiopathogenetic uncertainties.

This meeting will also discuss a study carried by a group of Italian researchers (vestibologists, radiologists and vascular surgeons), among patients with Meniere’s Disease with new positive symptoms, particularly on the diagnosis and endovascular therapy of stenoses of the venous vessel of the neck and intracranial circulation. The meeting will talk about the promising results from the study as well as future directions needed in this
challenging field.
