endolymphatic hydrops

It is associated with dilation of the membranous labyrinth (endolymphatic hydrops) in the ear.

Although historically least studied, renewed interest has surfaced due to its changes reported in cases of endolymphatic hydrops or meniere's disease.

This gives rise to local vasodilation and increased permeability, which helps to reverse the underlying problem of endolymphatic hydrops.

A condition where the volume of the endolymph is greatly enlarged is called endolymphatic hydrops and has been linked to Ménière's disease.

Ménière's disease is idiopathic, but it is believed to be linked to endolymphatic hydrops, an excess of fluid in the inner ear.

An enlarged endolymphatic duct and sac and a deficient utriculoendolymphatic valve are commonly found associated with collapse of Reissner's membrane or an absence of endolymphatic hydrops.

Objective identification and monitoring of meniere's disease and endolymphatic hydrops (EH): Enlarged SP reflects pathologic condition of EH.

Ménière's disease is a vestibular disorder of unknown origin, but is thought to be caused by an increase in the amount of endolymphatic fluid present in the inner ear (endolymphatic hydrops).
