Résumé

To compare the saccule-to-utricle ratio in early- versus late-stage Meniere's disease (MD) patients based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images. In this retrospective study, we performed 3-dimensional real inversion recovery (3D-real IR) MRI 24 h after intratympanic gadolinium administration in unilateral MD patients at early-stage (n = 56) and late-stage (n = 70). Two radiologists independently graded endolymphatic hydrops (EH) and the saccule-to-utricle ratio inversion (SURI) was compared between the two groups. Furthermore, early-stage MD patients were further divided into two subgroups based on disease duration: ≤6 months (n = 20) and >6 months (n = 36) and the SURI was compared. Among the 56 patients in the early-stage group, 26 cases (46.43%) exhibited an enlarged saccule that is larger than the utricle, showing SURI. In contrast, among the late-stage MD, only four cases (5.71%) showed SURI (p < 0.001). In the early-stage MD subgroup with a disease duration of ≤6 months, the proportion of SURI was 70% (14/20), which was higher than that in the subgroup with a disease duration of >6 months (33.33%, 12/36, p = 0.02). SURI may serve as an effective imaging marker for diagnosis of early-stage MD. Our finding suggests that endolymphatic hydrops in MD may primarily originate from the saccule.
