Stratification of patients with Meniere's disease based on eye movement videos recorded from the beginning of vertigo attacks and contrast-enhanced MRI findings.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Diagnosis of Menière's disease (MD) relies on subjective factors and the patients diagnosed with MD may have heterogeneous pathophysiologies. This study aims to stratify MD patients using two objective data, nystagmus videos and contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (CE-MRI).

Methods

This is a retrospective cross-sectional study. According to the Japan Society for Equilibrium Research criteria (c-JSER), adults diagnosed with definite MD and who obtained videos recorded by portable nystagmus recorder immediately following vertigo attacks and underwent CE-MRI of the inner ear were included (ss = 91). Patients who obtained no nystagmus videos, who had undergone sac surgery, and those with long examination intervals were excluded (n = 40).
