Experimental hydrops caused by underabsorption of endolymphatic fluid is a model of remissional stage of Meniere's disease. In this study, another type of model, ie, hydrops caused by overproduction of endolymphatic fluid, was accomplished by applying various pressures into scala media through a micropipette via stria vascularis. This type of hydrops could be a model of attacks of Meniere's disease. By using two types of the model, effects of glycerol administration and of opening the endolymphatic sac were discussed.

Ultrastructural Characteristics

Capillaries entering and leaving the stria vascularis were surrounded by layers of basal cells and fibrocytes. The entering capillaries were surrounded by one or two thin basal cells, while the leaving capillaries were surrounded by four or five thicker and interdigitated basal cell layers. Moreover, the layers surrounding the leaving capillaries persisted further into the spiral ligament. Two kinds of filaments were observed in the basal cells, one thin and the other thick. Capillaries were observed to leak horseradish peroxidase before they entered and after they left the stria vascularis. Although the reaction product of horseradish peroxidase was observed in all perivascular spaces of leaving capillaries, very little or no reaction product was observed around some entering capillaries. It is speculated that the layers of basal cells and fibrocytes around entering and leaving capillaries control the vascular flow out of the stria vascularis, although the layers around leaving capillaries may be more contractile than those around entering capillaries.
