Abstract

Tumarkin’s otolithic crisis refers to drop attacks that are an unusual manifestation of Meniere’s disease. It has been proposed that these drop attacks result from mechanical deformation of the otolithic organs related to the endolymphatic hydrops that occurs in Meniere’s disease, as revealed by MRI with intratympanic gadolinium enhancement. Here we report a patient with Tumarkin’s otolithic crisis in whom inner-ear MRI with intratympanic gadolinium administration during the acute attack did not reveal the presence of endolymphatic hydrops.
