OBJECTIVE: Vestibular schwannomas (VS) may present with similar symptoms endolymphatic hydrops. Association between hydrops and internal auditory canal VS has been described by Naganawa et al. (Neuroradiology 53:1009-1015, 2011), but has never been confirmed since. The aim of this work was to study the prevalence of a saccular dilation on a T2-weighted sequence at 3 T MRI in VS compared to a control group.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: All patients presenting with typical VS between May 2009 and July 2018 were included (n = 183) and compared to a control group (n = 53). All underwent a high-resolution T2-weighted 3D sequence (FIESTA-C). The height and width of the saccule were measured on a coronal plane by two radiologists.
RESULTS: The saccule was dilated on the side of the schwannoma in 28% of the cases (p = 2.81 × 10- 5), with 15.7% of bilateral dilation. Saccular dilation was correlated to sensorineural hearing loss (OR 3.26, p = 0.02). There was also a significant correlation between saccular hydrops on the normal contralateral side of patients with VS and vertigo (p = 0.049), and between saccular hydrops on the side of the tumour and tinnitus (p = 0.006).
CONCLUSION: A third (29%) of VS are associated with a saccular dilation on the side of the tumour, which is an MR sign of endolymphatic hydrops (bilateral in 15.7% of the cases) and it appears related to sensorineural hearing loss and tinnitus, as well as vertigo if a contralateral dilation is present. This opens new therapeutic potentialities with the use of anti-vertiginous drugs, which could have a beneficial effect on the clinical symptoms.
