Fig. 3From: A comparison of endolymphatic duct blockage, endolymphatic sac drainage and endolymphatic sac decompression surgery in reversing endolymphatic hydrops in Meniere’s diseaseSerial MRI axial scans (left column) and the corresponding MRI colored images (right column) revealed a significant EH both in the cochlea (white arrow) and vestibule (red arrow) prior to surgery (A, A1), a tendency for EH to temporarily increase both in the cochlea (white arrow) and the vestibule (red arrow) 2 weeks after surgery (B, B1) and a complete reversal of vestibular hydrops (red arrow) and downgrading of cochlear hydrops (white arrow) from grade II to grade I 16 months after surgery (C, C1) in the same patient in Fig. 2.
