Thirty‐seven patients who developed Meniere's syndrome following acoustic (18) and physical (19) trauma are described and discussed. Histopathologic characteristics, which appear identical to idiopathic Meniere's disease, are described in a gentleman who developed Meniere's syndrome after head trauma. Concepts of cause and effect relationships and pathogenesis are discussed.
