The pathology of suppurative labyrinthitis.

A discussion of labyrinthitis seems, at first glance, a resurrection of a somewhat outdated topic, since so much was written on this subject in earlier years (especially by Europeans) and so little in recent years. Although antibiotics have curtailed its incidence, labyrinthitis is still a relatively common and clinically important inner ear disorder. A re-evaluation of the pathogenesis and pathology of suppurative labyrinthitis can provide an improved understanding of this disorder, as well as certain other labyrinthine disorders which do not manifest such discernible pathological changes.

XXVI A Consideration on the Circulation of the Perilymph An Experimental Study

A route of circulation of the perilymph in the cochlea was suggested. The perilymph was absorbed in the lower spiral ligament near the basement membrane. The perivascular space around the venule and vein plays an important role as a channel to convey fluid out of the perilymphatic space.A route of circulation of the perilymph in the cochlea was suggested.
