CONCLUSION: The distribution of unilateral Meniere's disease subtypes in this US population was different from that observed in a European population. METHODS: A retrospective, cross-sectional, single-institutional chart review was conducted. The electronic medical records of Meniere's disease patients were identified using International Classification of Diseases codes at a tertiary referral centre and reviewed to extract subgroup-defining features. Patients with definite Meniere's disease as per American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery criteria were categorised into one of five subgroups, for unilateral and bilateral Meniere's disease. OBJECTIVE: To ascertain the distribution of Meniere's disease phenotype subgroups in a US-based cohort, based on a recently introduced classification scheme utilising a Spanish and Portuguese cohort. RESULTS: Eighty-one patients with definite Meniere's disease were identified. Seventy-two cases of unilateral Meniere's disease were observed: 52.8 per cent were type 1, 20.8 per cent were type 2, 4.2 per cent were type 3, 18.1 per cent were type 4, and 4.2 per cent were type 5. This cohort differed significantly in distribution to a comparison Mediterranean cohort (p < 0.01). Nine cases of bilateral Meniere's disease were observed.
