Summary

The purpose of this research study is to see if magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with a double dose of contrast, or dye, and delayed imaging with MRI can help to diagnose Meniere Disease.

Detailed description

Meniere's disease (MD) is a medical condition causing attacks of vertigo, ringing in the ears, hearing loss and often a fullness in the ear. Currently there is no definitive test to diagnose the problem. It is believed to be caused by inner ear abnormalities, specifically of an over-collection of lymphatic fluid.The goal of this trial is to determine if an MRI with double dose of IV gadolinium can be diagnostic.
