The vestibular aquaeduct was evaluated blindly in tomograms from patients with Meniere's disease or chronic otitis and from patients without ear disorders. The descending part of the aquaeduct was clearly visible in 95% of the patients without ear disease. In the two other groups, it was visible only in about 50%. It is suggested that a narrow or invisible vestibular aquaeduct is an unspecific radiological sign in a variety of ear diseases.
对梅尼埃病或慢性中耳炎患者以及无耳部疾病患者的体层摄影图像进行了前庭导水管的盲法评估。在无耳部疾病的患者中,95%的患者导水管的下降部分清晰可见。在其他两组中,仅约50%的患者可见该部分。提示狭窄或不可见的前庭导水管是多种耳部疾病中一种非特异性的放射学征象。
