Practical imaging for Ménière's disease.

Ménière's disease (MD) is a chronic disorder of the inner ear characterized by vertigo, hearing loss, tinnitus, and aural fullness. The pathophysiology of MD involves endolymphatic hydrops, an abnormal accumulation of endolymph fluid, although the exact cause remains unclear, potentially involving genetic, environmental, and autoimmune factors. Recent advancements in magnetic resonance imaging have significantly enhanced diagnostic capabilities.
