Objectives: To describe the inner ear sectors after an inner ear MRI protocol and search for the presence of endolymphatic pressure anomaly in patients presenting with a congenital CMV infection and audio-vestibular dysfunction.
Methods: A 3D FLAIR MRI sequence, 4 h after gadolinium injection, was performed in patients with sensory-neural hearing loss secondary to a congenital CMV infection in order to analyse the morphology of the endolymphatic space.
Results: Two patients presented with a unilateral SNHL and 4 patients a bilateral SNHL.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate how nap polysomnography (NPSG) can help predict treatment strategies for infants with moderate to severe laryngomalacia and to investigate links between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) severity and weight gain.
- A retrospective analysis was conducted on 39 infants with moderate to severe laryngomalacia who underwent NPSG, revealing that 77% had OSA, with 69% experiencing moderate to severe cases.
- The apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) from NPSG was identified as a significant predictor for treatment decisions and weight gain, suggesting that NPSG should be integrated into the care of these infants.
Objectives/hypothesis: Currently, it is possible to assess in vivo the morphology of each compartment of the endolymphatic spaces 4 hours after an intravenous administration of gadolinium on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The aim of this study was to assess the correlation between otolithic and ampullar functions (cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potential [cVEMP], ocular vestibular evoked myogenic potential [oVEMP], video head impulse test [VHIT]) and delayed inner ear MRI based on a compartmental, anatomically based classification that included the cochlea, the saccule, the utricle, and the ampullas.
Study Design: Retrospective case-control study.
Purpose: 3D-FLAIR sequences with delayed acquisition after contrast medium injection have demonstrated new insights into blood-labyrinthine barrier (BLB) abnormalities in various diseases. The aim of this study was to assess the BLB in patients referred with unilateral acute vestibular syndrome (UAVS).
Materials And Methods: In this retrospective multicenter imaging study, we performed 3D-FLAIR and steady-state free precession (SSFP) sequences 4 h after contrast medium administration in 26 healthy volunteers and in 30 patients with UAVS.
