The role of three-dimensional fluid attenuated inversion recovery magnetic resonance imaging in diagnosis of sudden sensorineural hearing loss caused by inner ear hemorrhage

  

  • Received:2020-08-09 Published:2020-11-17

Abstract: Sudden sensorineural hearing loss(SSNHL)is defined as a decease in hearing ≥30 dB HL affecting at least three consecutive frequencies with no identifiable cause within 72 h. A possible cause is inner ear hemorrhage. However, detecting inner ear hemorrhage is difficult with conventional magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)sequences. Some studies showed that the 3-dimensional fluid attenuated inversion recovery(3D-FLAIR)MRI sequence could sensitively detect inner ear hemorrhage in SSNHL patients. In this article, we review the related literature about the clinical application of the 3D-FLAIR MRI sequence to evaluate SSNHL caused by inner ear hemorrhage.

Key words: Inner ear hemorrhage, Magnetic resonance imaging, 3D-FLAIR sequence, High signal in inner ear, Hearing loss, Vertigo
