Type of Study: case series observational descriptive study. Met' evaluation of audiometric changes and symptom relief in patients who underwent ITSP and met the diagnostic criteria established by the American Academy of Otolaryngology (AA OHNS) in 1995 for Meniere's disease. Results: audiogram results improved in two patients. Hearing impairment down-regulated from profound to moderate in one patient and the other improved according to the AA OHNS criteria. Conclusion: intra-tympanic perfusion with dexametasone to treat Meniére's disease may be useful for symptom and hearing impairment control. No procedure-related complications were found in our study.
