title: Menière symptoms induced by an otologic implant during MR.
abstract: A patient who had had sacculotomy with placement of a stainless steel sacculotomy tack 20 years earlier experienced vertigo and auditory sensations during MR imaging. The safety of these prosthesis in MR is questionable. A simple method of determining ferromagnetic interaction is proposed.
