Özet
Objectives: Retrocochlear pathology associated with audiovestibular symptoms is detected in very few of the patients, and most of the internal acoustic canal magnetic resonance imaging examinations (IAC-MRIs) are either completely normal or include accompanying incidental findings (IFs). The aim of our study is to reveal the presence and frequency of IFs in IAC-MRIs, together with retrocochlear lesions. In addition, we intend to emphasize the clinical importance of these IFs.
