我们描述了一个病例报告的梅尼埃病患者的变化，内淋巴积水观察使用磁共振成像（MRI）。通过鼓膜鼓室内注射钆，用3-T MRI装置进行的MRI扫描显示充满钆的外淋巴间隙内有内淋巴积水。我们评估了影像学检查结果与听力水平之间的关系。梅尼埃病患者MRI所观察到的内淋巴积水程度与听力水平之间的相关性为研究梅尼埃病的进展提供了一种有前途的新方法。(C)© 2009 Elsevieir爱尔兰有限公司版权所有。
We describe a case report of a patient with Meniere's disease whose changes in endolymphatic hydrops were observed using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Gadolinium was injected intratympanically through the tympanic membrane, and MRI scans performed with a 3-T MRI unit revealed endolumphatic hydrops inside the perilymphatic space filled with gadolinium. We evaluated the relationship between the image findings and hearing level. The correlation between the degree of endolymphatic hydrops observed by MRI and hearing level in patients with Meniere's disease offers a promising new method to study the progression of Meniere's disease.
