Diagnostic yield of MRI of the brain and IAC in patients with neurotologic complaints

ConclusionsIn a tertiary neurotology center, the likelihood of finding a retrocochlear tumor on MRI is rare. In the current study, unilateral tinnitus exclusively, “definite MD,” and “probable MD” failed to yield a single example of retrocochlear tumor. Patients with “possible MD” had the highest probability of finding retrocochlear tumors and other relevant pathology.
