摘要

Purpose: Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (CEMRI) of the head is frequently employed in investigations of sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). The yield of these studies is perceptibly low and seemingly at odds with the aims of wise resource allocation and risk reduction within the Canadian healthcare system. The purpose of our study was to audit the use and diagnostic yield of CEMRI for the clinical indication of SNHL in our institution and to identify characteristics that may be leveraged to improve yield and optimize resource utilization. Materials and methods: The charts of 500 consecutive patients who underwent CEMRI of internal auditory canal for SNHL were categorized as cases with relevant positive findings on CEMRI and those without relevant findings. Demographics, presenting symptoms, interventions and responses, ordering physicians, and investigations performed prior to CEMRI testing were recorded. Chi-squared test and t-test were used to compare proportions and means, respectively. Results: CEMRI studies revealed relevant findings in 20 (6.2%) of 324 subjects meeting the inclusion criteria. Pre-CEMRI testing beyond audiometry was conducted in 35% of those with relevant positive findings compared to 7.3% of those without (p < 0.001). Auditory brainstem response/ vestibular-evoked myogenic potentials were abnormal in 35% of those with relevant CEMRI findings compared to 6.3% of those without (p < 0.001). Conclusion: CEMRI is a valuable tool for assessing potential causes of SNHL, but small diagnostic yield at present needs justification for contrast injection for this indication. Our findings suggest preferred referral from otolaryngologists exclusively, and implementation of a non-contrast MRI for SNHL may be a better diagnostic tool.
