PURPOSE: To relate the finding of selective enhancement of different turns of the cochlea to the frequency range of the hearing loss measured by audiogram.
METHODS: Six patients aged 23 to 53 years, four men and two women, who presented with sudden hearing loss and had segmental enhancement of different turns of the cochlea on contrast-enhanced MR imaging were included in this retrospective study. The patients were imaged on a 1.5 T MR imaging system using pre- and postcontrast axial T1-weighted images and postcontrast coronal T1-weighted images through the temporal bone.
RESULTS: The basal turn of the cochlea enhanced selectively in five of the six patients and the apical turn enhanced in the sixth patient. All patients had sensorineural hearing loss. Three of the patients with basal turn enhancement had predominantly high-frequency hearing loss, whereas the patient with apical turn enhancement had predominantly low-frequency hearing loss. The two other patients with basal turn enhancement had complete hearing loss. Three patients had presumed autoimmune labyrinthitis. The other three patients had strong clinical and surgical evidence of a perilymphatic fistula.
CONCLUSION: Contrast-enhanced MR imaging may demonstrate selective enhancement of different turns of the cochlea. In certain patients, the areas of enhancement may correlate with specific hearing loss in the frequencies mapped by the enhancing segment. Enhancement of the cochlea may represent radiologic evidence of cochlear inflammation secondary to a perilymphatic fistula.
