  • Title: Significance of tomography in Meniere's disease: periaqueductal pneumatization.
    Author: Hall SF, O'Connor AF, Thakkar CH, Wylie IG, Morrison AW.
    Journal: Laryngoscope; 1983 Dec; 93(12):1551-3. PubMed ID: 6606099.
    Abstract:
    The revival of endolymphatic sac surgery has led to many investigations in Meniere's disease, including lateral tomography of the periaqueductal pneumatization. We radiologically assessed a series of Meniere's patients and a control group, and found hypocellularity to be more common in Meniere's disease as the literature has stated. However, we found this finding bilaterally in patients with unilateral disease. Our assessment of this information in regard to the etiology and treatment of Meniere's disease is presented.
