A member asked:
How much will vestibular nerve ablation surgery help severe vertigo as a last resort?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Need more info: This treatment is last resort for intractable menieres. Sectioning of the nerve will cause persistent imbalance. Usually other treatments are used first such as diuretics, steroid or gentamicin perfusions of the inner ear. Section will not help vestibular migraine or chronic imbalance from inner ear weakness. Suggest see neurootologist.
