Saccular and cochlear endolymphatic potentials (SEP and CEP) were recorded in 33 normal animals. We confirmed that SEP is not produced in the saccule per se, but is a potential leak from the cochlea. CEP was reduced to one-tenth of the original value when it reached the saccule. Endolymphatic hydrops was provoked in 32 animals, and CEP and SEP were successfully recorded in 29 and 20 cases, respectively. The measurements were performed in the 2nd, 4th and 12th postoperative week. Both CEP and SEP decreased in magnitude as time elapsed after the surgery. This reduction is attributed to the strial dysfunction. In advanced hydrops, CEP transmission to the saccule is greatly inhibited. It is concluded that the saccular dysfunction can occur in the hydropic ear.
