Résumé

Our aim was to confirm the usefulness of T2-weighted (T2W) gradient-echo sequence for detection and topographic diagnosis of intralabyrinthine schwannomas (ILS) compared with T1W contrast-enhanced sequence as gold standard, to evaluate the necessity of intravenous gadolinium injection for ILS follow-up imaging.
