A perilymphatic fistula (PLF) presents with abnormal traffic in the otic capsule, causing cochlear and vestibular symptoms. However, the mechanisms underlying symptom recurrence remain controversial. Herein, we report the case of a 27-year-old female who

Endolymph Composition: Paradigm or Inevitability?
This review is focused on the unusual composition of the endolymph of the inner ear and its function in mechanoelectrical transduction. The role of K+ and Ca2+ in excitatory influx, the very low Na+, Ca2+ and Mg2+ concentrations of endolymph, stereocilia structure of hair cells and some proteins involved in mechanosensory signal transduction with ...

Statistical shape modeling of the human inner ear through micro‐computed tomography imaging
In this study, 54 cadaveric temporal bone specimens underwent high‐resolution micro‐CT imaging. Images were semi‐automatically segmented and converted to 3D surface mesh models for morphological measurement and analysis. Statistical shape models were created for the inner ear, cochlea, and vestibular system, as well as for sex‐ and side‐based subgroups.

Single-cell RNA-sequencing of stria vascularis cells in the adult Slc26a4 -/- mouse
Background The primary pathological alterations of Pendred syndrome are endolymphatic pH acidification and luminal enlargement of the inner ear. However, the molecular contributions of specific cell types remain poorly characterized.

Slow‐Phase Nystagmus Velocity as a Risk Factor for Lateral Canal BPPV Recurrence
This study investigated slow‐phase nystagmus velocity (SPV) at initial diagnosis as an objective vestibular predictor for the recurrence of lateral semicircular canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). Binomial logistic regression analysis demonstrated that an elevated initial SPV is a novel, independent risk factor for recurrence ...

ABSTRACT Ocean acidification (OA) remains a major and underexplored threat to marine fishes, particularly regarding reproductive physiology and early life stages (ELS). Although research over the past 15 years has documented diverse OA effects, substantial knowledge gaps persist.

Menière's Disease and Disorders of the Carbohydrate Metabolism Involving the Inner Ear
Introduction Menière’s disease was described in 1861, but there are still uncertainties regarding its pathophysiology and treatment. Endolymphatic hydrops is recognized as a fundamental pathological characteristic of the disease, as a result of an ...

Abstract The complex evolutionary history behind modern mammalian chewing performance and hearing function is a result of several changes in the entire skeletomuscular system of the skull and lower jaw. Lately, exciting multifunctional 3D analytical methods and kinematic simulations of feeding functions in both modern and fossil mammals and their ...

Labyrinthine Abnormalities on MRI in Untreated Otosclerosis: Prevalence and Clinical Relevance
In untreated otosclerosis with labyrinthine symptoms, delayed 3D FLAIR MRI rarely demonstrates endolymphatic hydrops but frequently reveals blood–labyrinth barrier (BLB) disruption. BLB enhancement is spatially associated with cochlear endosteal and round window involvement and increases with the severity of the hearing loss phenotype.

Low Endolymph Calcium Concentrations in deafwaddler2J Mice Suggest that PMCA2 Contributes to Endolymph Calcium Maintenance [PDF]
In vertebrates, transduction of sound into an electrochemical signal is carried out by hair cells that rely on calcium to perform specialized functions. The apical surfaces of hair cells are surrounded by endolymphatic fluid containing calcium at concentrations that must be maintained by active transport. The mechanism of this transport is unknown, but
