From: MRI can help differentiate Ménière’s disease from other menieriform diseases

  1. PE perilymphatic enhancement; IEM inner ear malformation; ME middle ear effusion without clinical features of active inflammation; SCCLSL semicircular canal local signal loss.
  2. *P values were obtained by separately comparing the differences in PE, IEM, ME and SCCLSL between patients with Ménière’s disease and with vestibular migraine. Due to limited sample size in vestibular schwannoma group, no such statistical analysis was performed.
  3. Values are presented as No. of patients.
