3 T MRI after intratympanic injection of gadolinium-based contrast agent (GBCA) is more useful for the diagnosis of endolymphatic hydrops compared with the glycerol test and electrocochleography (ECoG).
To investigate the relationship between 3 T MRI after intratympanic injection of GBCA, the glycerol test, and ECoG in patients with Meniere's disease (MD).
A total of 20 patients with MD were evaluated. Diluted gadodiamide (a gadolinium-based contrast agent) was administered to the bilateral tympanic cavity by injection through the tympanic membrane. After 24 h, the endolymphatic hydrops was evaluated by a 3.0 T MR scanner. To investigate cochlear hydrops, the glycerol test and ECoG were carried out in all patients.
A positive result was observed in 11 patients (55%) in the glycerol test and in 12 patients (60%) by ECoG. The incidence of positive findings when evaluating the same patients with both the glycerol test and ECoG increased to 75%. Nineteen of 20 (95%) patients showed positive results for 3 T MRI.
与甘油试验和电耳蜗图(ECoG)相比,鼓室内注射钆基造影剂(GBCA)后的3T磁共振成像(MRI)对诊断内淋巴积水更有用。
研究梅尼埃病(MD)患者鼓室内注射GBCA后的3T MRI、甘油试验和ECoG之间的关系。
共评估了20例MD患者。通过鼓膜穿刺向双侧鼓室注射稀释的钆双胺(一种钆基造影剂)。24小时后,用3.0T MR扫描仪评估内淋巴积水情况。为研究耳蜗积水,对所有患者进行了甘油试验和ECoG检查。
甘油试验中有11例患者(55%)结果为阳性,ECoG检查中有12例患者(60%)结果为阳性。用甘油试验和ECoG对同一患者进行评估时,阳性结果的发生率增至75%。20例患者中有19例(95%)3T MRI结果为阳性。
