This study aims to evaluate endolymphatic duct radiological morphology in symptomatic and asymptomatic ears in patients with unilateral Ménière's disease.
✦ Clinical Takeaway ✦
MRI morphology of the endolymphatic duct correlates with hydrops severity in unilateral Ménière's disease; while not yet a routine clinical tool, this approach may eventually refine diagnosis and staging — no immediate practice change is warranted pending prospective validation.
✦ Why It Matters ✦
Reliable imaging biomarkers for Ménière's disease severity could transform how audiologists and otologists stage the condition and personalise treatment decisions.
