“梅尼埃”与“美尼尔”

"Ménière" and "Meniere"

相对于普罗斯帕·梅尼埃(Prosper Ménière)教授,人们对美尼尔综合症(Meniere syndrome)更加熟悉。19世纪,法国医师梅尼埃首先观察到内耳病变与眩晕的关系,并提出“眩晕、恶心、耳鸣和单侧听力下降的症状复合体可能是由内耳病变引起”;法国著名医学家夏科(Charcot)将这一症状复合体称为“Ménière病”即“梅尼埃病”。在我国“梅尼埃病”曾被称为“美尼尔综合征”。在此通过梳理梅尼埃教授探索发现“梅尼埃病”的经过,了解本病的相关知识和临床诊治方案,同时弘扬普罗斯帕·梅尼埃坚忍不拔、孜孜以求、坚持真理的品德。

People are more familiar with "Meniere syndrome",compared with professor Prosper Ménière. In the 19th century,French doctor Ménière was the first person to observe the relationship between inner ear lesions and vertigo and reported that "inner ear lesions may cause the complex of vertigo,nausea,tinnitus and unilateral hearing loss". The famous French medical scientist Charcot defined the symptoms as "Ménière disease"(once called as "Meniere syndrome" in China). The discovery of Ménière’s disease by Professor Ménière was reviewed,the disease and its clinical management were learned,and Prosper Ménière’s perseverance,diligence and insistence on the truth were carried forward.
