    (A) High-resolution CT scan of the temporal bone. Axial slice at the level of the vestibule. Enlarged vestibular aqueducts: 2.5mm on the right side and 3.4 on the left (arrows). 1.5mm is normal, measured midway along the duct; (B) shows high-resolution T2-weighted MR images of the skull base. Vestibular ducts and sacs are enlarged on both sides (arrows).
