Fig 1. MR images of a patient diagnosed as having aspergillosis involving the left inner ear and IAC. These images were obtained in November 2004.

A, Axial T2-weighted MR image shows an area of low signal intensity replacing normal high signal intensity in the cochlea (white arrow). A soft-tissue masslike lesion filling the left IAC is also seen (arrowhead).

B, Enhanced T1-weighted axial image shows the intense enhancement of the left inner ear and IAC (arrows).
