CONCLUSION: Using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), endolymphatic hydrops could be visualized on both sides after intratympanic (IT) injection of gadolinium contrast agents (Gd) in one symptomatic ear and subsequent intravenous (IV) Gd injection. The MRI revealed a difference of intracochlear Gd distribution between the IT injection side and the contralateral IV side.
OBJECTIVES: Although the IT method allows greater enhancement of the perilymph, many patients feel reluctance in receiving the IT injection in asymptomatic ears. We attempted to evaluate endolymphatic space size on both sides without the IT injection in asymptomatic ears.
METHODS: In 10 patients with Meniere's disease, MRI was performed 24 h after the IT Gd injection in one symptomatic ear and 4 h after the IV Gd injection. The signal intensity of Gd in the basal and apical turns of the cochlea was evaluated.
RESULTS: The signal intensity in the scala tympani of the basal turn of the cochlea was 1.70 ± 0.60 on the IT + IV side and 0.42 ± 0.10 on the contralateral (IV) side. Gd was distributed uniformly in the scala tympani in the cochlea on the IV side, whereas it was strongly localized in the basal turn on the IT + IV side.
