Abstract:
We report the case of a patient with episodic rotational vertigo for years. Ear symptoms were negated. The clinical diagnosis was not clear - Menière's disease, vestibular migraine and recurrent vertigo after vestibular neuritis all qualified for differential diagnoses. A locally enhanced inner-ear MRI established clarity by showing an endolymphatic hydrops in the vestibulum. Besides the classical triad of Menière's disease there are other clinical appearances of endolymphatic hydrops, which can be visualized with inner-ear MRI.
