High Resolution Three-Dimensional Delayed Contrast MRI Detects Endolymphatic Hydrops in Patients With Vertigo and Vestibular Schwannoma

Abstract

When EH coexists with vestibular schwannoma in a patient presenting with recurrent vertigo spells, medical treatments for EH may alleviate the vestibular symptoms. We recommend that patients with small vestibular schwannomas who present with vertigo spells undergo high resolution MRI to evaluate for EH and undergo a trial of medical treatment with diuretics.
