BACKGROUND: Delayed Meniere's disease (DMD) is characterized by episodic vertigo occurring after a significant delay following longstanding sensorineural hearing loss. However, its pathogenesis and characteristics remain unclear.
OBJECTIVES: To explore the characteristics of endolymphatic hydrops (EH) in DMD and investigate its pathology using MRI.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: 17 patients diagnosed with DMD were included in this study. A 3D-real-IR MRI sequence was utilized to visualize and grade EH. The signal intensity of the basal cochlear turn was compared to that of the cerebellar white matter to calculate the CC ratio. A paired t-test was employed to assess the differences in the CC ratio between the affected and unaffected sides in patients with unilateral DMD.
RESULTS: EH was present in 100% of cases on the affected side. Unilateral EH was seen in 82.4%, and bilateral EH in 23.5%. Vestibular EH without cochlear involvement occurred in 29.4%, and cochlear EH without vestibular involvement in 5.9%. The CC ratio was significantly higher on the affected side (p < 0.01).
CONCLUSIONS AND SIGNIFICANCE: A significant grade of vestibular EH was observed in DMD, with bilateral EH being relatively common. The increased contrast on the affected side may reflect the underlying pathology in DMD patients.
