颧骨组织病理学研究表明梅尼埃病与内淋巴积水有关，任何原因引起的内淋巴管狭窄、闭锁或内淋巴管功能障碍均可导致内淋巴积水。在以往的多体层摄影及高分辨CT仅能显示前庭导水管的骨管形态。近来，使用具有表面线圈和薄层面的高分辨MRI技术已能显示出前庭导水管内的内淋巴管、 Zygomatic histopathological studies have shown that Meniere’s disease is associated with endolymphatic hydrops, and any cause of lymphatic vessel stenosis, atresia, or lymphatic vessel dysfunction can result in endolymphatic hydrops. In the past, multi-body tomography and high-resolution CT can only show the vestibular aqueduct in the shape of the bone. Recently, the use of high resolution MRI techniques with surface coils and thin layers has been shown to display the lymphatic vessels within the vestibular aqueduct,
