An Unusual Case of Labyrinthine Hydrops

Abstract

The clinical picture and the histological findings in a case of hydrops endolymphaticus cochleae is given. The case is remarkable because of an unusual degeneration of the first neurons in the apical turn of the right ear. There is also a beginning hydrops in the apical turn of the opposite ear. Neither clinically nor histologically could signs of a vestibular dysfunction be found. The findings are discussed.
