Limitation of updated MR images on the vestibular hydrops in Meniere ’s disease

ConclusionLimitations of the updated MR imaging for visualizing the hydrops comprised: (1) failure to correlate vestibular hydrops with VEMP results, and (2) failure to correlate grade of cochlear hydrops with MHL. The reason is probably because updated MR imaging fails to identify distorted contour of the cochlea/utricle/saccule. Further advanced technique using ultrahigh resolution of fine structures in the inner ear compartments is essential to promote a wider use of MR imaging.
