Vasopressin induces endolymphatic hydrops in mouse inner ear, as evaluated with repeated 9.4 T MRI.
From histopathological specimens, endolymphatic hydrops has been demonstrated in association with inner ear disorders. Recent studies have observed findings suggestive of hydrops using MRI in humans. Previous studies suggest that vasopressin may play a critical role in endolymph homeostasis and may be involved in the development of Ménière's disease. In this study we evaluate the effect of vaso...
متن کاملLongitudinal up‐regulation of endolymphatic hydrops in patients with Meniere's disease during medical treatment
Objective/Hypothesis Meniere's disease (MD) is a common inner ear disease characterized by repeated episodic vertigo, fluctuating sensorineural hearing loss, and tinnitus. Its pathology is defined as endolymphatic hydrops (EH) in the inner ear and EH has been hypothesized to correlate with the clinical symptoms of MD. We presented the dynamics of in vivo EH in MD patients during medical treatme...

OBJECTIVE Endolymphatic hydrops has been well described in patients with Ménière's syndrome; however, causation has not been established. Decompression of the endolymphatic sac has been proposed as a means to relieve hydrops and improve vertigo symptoms, but the efficacy of the surgery is debated. Until recently, there have been few objective measures of efficacy other than patients' subjective...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the presence and the degree of endolymphatic hydrops (EHs) in patients with unilateral Ménière's disease (MD), as a function of duration of the disease, estimated using a 3-dimensional fluid-attenuated inversion recovery sequence in a 3-Tesla magnetic resonance imaging unit, after intratympanic gadolinium administration. PATIENTS A total of 32 patients (21 male and 11 fe...
