ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To clarify pathophysiological characteristics of Ménière's disease during the remission phase. PATIENTS: Two Ménière's disease patients with different disease durations, whose endolymphatic hydrops was longitudinally observed using 3-T magnetic resonance imaging. INTERVENTIONS: Diagnostic. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES: Morphological changes of endolymphatic hydrops visualized using 3-T magnetic resonance imaging. RESULTS: Rupture-like shrinkage and regrowth of endolymphatic hydrops during the remission phase was observed in both patients. CONCLUSION: The remission phase with hearing improvement could be as important as vertigo attacks in Ménière's disease.

The insertion of a catheter into the mediastinum can occur in any patient as a complication. We must check for blood regurgitation not only in the blood removal line but also in the blood return line.
ABSTRACT
Membranous nephropathy associated with malignant neoplasm may remit completely with treatment of the underlying disease. In such cases, recurrence is very rare. However, after a recurrence, attention should be paid to the possible recurrence of the underlying disease.
