MRI for the detection of Ménière's disease

What does it consist of?

MRI for the detection of Ménière’s disease makes it possible to detect the existence of a dilation of the membranous labyrinth, a situation known as endolymphatic hydrops. To do this, the patient is administered paramagnetic contrast (gadolinium) intravenously. After 4 hours, the time in which it is estimated that the gadolinium has entered the inner ear, the magnetic resonance is performed. This test makes it possible to visualize the altered fluid in the inner ear and whether the endolymphatic space is dilated, a conclusive sign for the diagnosis of Ménière’s disease.
