Meniere's disease is a disorder of the membranous labyrinth that is characterized by vertigo, hearing loss, tinnitus and ear fullness. The etiology of Meniere's disease is yet to be described and the management is also very difficult. Fifty-one years old female patient had paroxysm of severe tinnitus and dizziness after medical therapy and surgical intervention during several years. Patient received stellate ganglion block (SGB) and her symptoms were completely relieved. Therefore, SGB could be considered another therapeutic modality for Meniere's disease.
