“…Reports in the literature describe the features of modiolar hypoplasia, VA and endolymph duct enlargements, and endolymph sac enlargement in the large endolymphatic duct and sac syndrome. 5,14,[21][22][23][24] We believe that the statistical approach set forth in this paper will prove useful for evaluation of the size of all these labyrinthine structures.…”

“…20 Previous authors have also recognised that the distal (posterolateral) endolymphatic sac alone may have a lower signal on T2-and T2 * -weighted MRI scans, compared with cerebrospinal fluid or labyrinthine fluid. 4 This feature has been described in other reports, 9,11 although its significance has not been explored. It has been proposed that this differing signal within the compartments represents the subepithelial connective tissue or multitubular tissue of the pars rugosa, rather than the hyperosmolar proteinaceous contents of the endolymphatic sac.…”

“…endolymphatic sac size, endolymphatic sac T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) signal, and associated labyrinthine anomalies) with patients' audiological findings; however, results have been inconsistent. 4,5,8,9 There have also been limited reports of the presence of internal compartments within large endolymphatic sacs, demonstrated on MRI scans. 4,10,11 However, their significance and their impact on our understanding of the associated hearing loss have not been systematically explored.…”

“…In patients with a large vestibular aqueduct, usually a gradually deterioration of hearing occurs over the course of several years. In many cases, hearing deteriorates stepwise after minor head trauma or barometric pressure changes [24]. Three mechanisms have been proposed to explain this phenomenon: The intracranial pressure might be transmitted directly through the enlarged vestibular aqueduct into the cochlea and cause damage to the hair cells in the organ of Corti.…”
