Abstract
Recent advances in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have demonstrated facial nerve enhancement in facial nerve palsy and cochlea enhancement in sudden deafness. However, no report has described the findings of enhanced MRI in vestibular neuronitis. Eight cases of vestibular neuro nitis were studied with enhanced MRI. We did not detect any enhanced l esions of the vestibular nerve or ganglion. So far, as the present con ditions of MRI are concerned, it is difficult to detect any enhancemen t in the vestibular nerve and ganglion. Further study will be required to evaluate the suitability of MRI for vestibular neuronitis.
