This is a companion case to the last one we
0:04
saw, in that the patient had hearing loss
0:07
on the left side.
0:09
We look at the thin section CISS image and again we see
0:13
the asymmetry in the vestibule on the right side where
0:17
it's bright, with the vestibule on the left side where
0:21
the high signal intensity endolymph and perilymph has
0:24
been replaced by soft tissue. On the post-gadolinium
0:28
enhanced scan, as you can see,
0:31
the vestibule shows contrast enhancement.
0:33
Here is the contralateral right normal
0:35
side which should not enhance.
0:37
Here we have enhancement of the vestibule in a
0:40
patient who has a labyrinthine schwannoma.
0:43
Once again,
0:43
we would be concerned about whether or not we had
0:46
pre-gadolinium enhanced T1-weighted scans that might
0:49
confirm that this is enhancement rather than fat
0:54
or blood products. And for that, once again,
0:57
the only way to do it without the pre-gad is to
1:00
do an axial reformat of the sagittal scan,
1:05
and then look for the vestibule.
1:08
Here's our cochlea.
1:10
Here's where we would expect to see the vestibule
1:13
and there is nothing bright there.
1:15
And hence we would conclude that
1:16
this represents enhancement.
1:18
This is a little trick of the trade for those people who
1:21
don't have protocols where they
1:23
do a pre-gad T1-weighted scan.
