Abstract:
Objective To analyze correlation of endolymphatic hydrops (EH) in the inner ear with age in Meniere’s disease (MD) patients. Methods A retrospective analysis were underwent in 101 definite unilateral MD patients. They were divided into young-age (＜18 years old) group, middle-age (18-45 years old) group and elder-age (＞45 years old) group. All patients underwent inner ear three-dimensional inversion-recovery with real reconstruction (3D-real IR) imaging 4 hours after intravenous gadolinium injection. EH rates among different groups were compared. Results The positive rates of EH in the young-age group, middle-age group and elder-age group were 68.2% (15/22), 54.5% (18/33) and 56.5% (26/46), respectively (P＝0.567). There was no difference in the positive rates of EH in vestibule and cochlea among three groups. There was no difference in the rates of mild and significant EH in vestibule and cochlea among three groups. Conclusions Age might not be related to the occurrence of EH in the inner ear in MD patients.
