Signal Alteration of the Inner Ear on High-Resolution Three-Dimensional Constructive Interference in Steady State Sequence in Patients with Meniere's Disease and Labyrinthitis.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The aim of this study is to evaluate signal alteration in the inner ear using three-dimensional (3D)-constructive interference in steady state (CISS) sequence in patients with Ménière's disease and labyrinthitis and its correlation with clinical and audiological parameters.

Methods

The medical records of the department of otorhinolaryngology were searched for patients with Ménière's disease or labyrinthitis who underwent MRI with 3D-CISS sequence. Blinded analysis of these patients and of MRI from control subjects without middle or inner ear symptoms was performed to detect any signal asymmetry of the inner ear structures. The results were correlated with clinical symptoms and results of audiological and vestibular tests.

Results

Fifty-eight patients with
