Résumé

MRI is the modality of choice for the imaging of facial neuritis. Previously, gadolinium-enhanced T1-weighted imaging of the petrous bone, then FLAIR sequences were thought to be most informative for acute facial neuritis imaging. The aim of this study is to evaluate the value of contrast-enhanced T2-weighted sequence for the diagnosis of acute facial neuritis and compare it to contrast-enhanced T1-weighted and FLAIR sequences.
