Tissue Changes About the Endolymphatic Sac

Pathophysiologic Findings in the Human Endolymphatic Sac in Endolymphatic Hydrops: Functional and Molecular Evidence

“…Tissue around the ES contains loose connective tissue, capillaries, and villi, which are likely to be involved in the development of endolymphatic hydrops in the presence of vasoconstriction and temporary focal ischemia. 1,4,18 Recently, periductal channels around the endolymphatic duct, suggested to be involved in fluid absorption in the area of the endolymphatic duct, were observed. 19 The investigators suggested that most fluid absorption in the ES occurs in the proximal portion of the ES, containing the endolymphatic duct, and obstruction of this portion can induce endolymphatic hydrops.…”
