Association of Meniere's disease and retinal vascular calibre: a prospective observational study in China.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

It is believed that Meniere's disease (MD) is associated with vascular disorders, but few studies have reported the relationship between retinal vascular disorders and MD. We evaluated and compared the retinal vascular calibres in patients with MD with healthy subjects matched for age, sex and vascular risk factors using retinal photographs to explore the association between MD and retinal vascular calibre.

Study design

A prospective study.

Setting

Tertiary referral centre.

Participants

Sixty patients with MD and 62 healthy subjects matched for age, sex and vascular risk factors were enrolled in this study. Twenty-four patients with MD had migraines, and 36 patients with MD did not have migraines.

Main outcome measure

Retinal vascular calibres
