While patients with Ménière disease were proportionately more likely to have a small vestibular aqueduct than patients without Ménière disease, the small vestibular aqueduct was more frequently seen in patients without Ménière disease and had no correlation with hearing loss, vertigo, dizziness, or aural fullness. We suggest that the finding of a small vestibular aqueduct on CT could be reported by radiologists as a possible finding in Ménière disease, but it remains of uncertain, and potentially unlikely, clinical importance in the absence of symptoms of Ménière disease.
