UNASSIGNED: Inner ear MRI images.
UNASSIGNED: Changes in the patient\'s progress revealed that inner ear immune and inflammatory changes might induce EH, which may eventually turn into MD.
UNASSIGNED: This case is the first documented case of MRI revealing progressive changes from inflammatory response to endolymphatic hydrops in the inner ear. It shows the correlation between MD and inflammation visually. It is of great significance to reveal the pathogenesis of MD to further assist in the guidance of treatment decision making.
