- The Association of Vascular Loops within the Internal Auditory Meatus or Contacting the Vestibulo-Cochlear Nerve with Audiovestibular Symptoms: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to determine whether the presence of IVLs and CN VIII NVC on MRI is associated with tinnitus, SNHL, or vertigo and any specific subtypes. It was found that CN VIII NVC is associated with vestibular paroxysmia, and IVL is associated with sudden-onset SNHL. No association was found between IVL or CN VIII NVC and undefined tinnitus, SNHL, and vertigo.
- Skull Base CSF Leaks: Potential Underlying Pathophysiology and Evaluation of Brain MR Imaging Findings Associated with Spontaneous Intracranial Hypotension
The purpose of this study was to use a validated brain MRI scoring system (Bern score) to evaluate patients with confirmed skull base CSF leaks for findings associated with SIH. The authors found that patients with skull base CSF leaks did not have brain MRI findings that are associated with SIH and likely have distinct pathophysiology from spinal CSF leaks.
