Labyrinthine Vascular Disorders

Mv own interest in these conditions commenced when I met James Seymour at the Middlesex Hospital six years ago. The stimulus which he gave me then has been the major factor in producing this paper to,night. Seymour, six years ago, knew from his clinical association with the late Garnett Passe (1945, 1951, 1953) that certain labyrinthine disorders responded to local vasodilation-either by drugs,...

A Third Labyrinthine Window: An Overview of Perilymph and Labyrinthine Fistulae and Superior Semicircular Canal Dehiscence

The membranous labyrinth is contained within the bony labyrinth and surrounded by perilymph. The only two 'potentially yielding' parts of the otherwise solid bony labyrinth are the oval and round windows, which by their relative movements, pressure differentials and resilience are responsible for all the functions attributed to the inner ear. In pathologies, such as trauma, infection or occasio...
