Measurement of action potential thresholds in experimental endolymphatic hydrops. 1985

T Morizono, and J Cohen, and M A Sikora

Unilateral experimental endolymphatic hydrops was created by endolymphatic sac and duct obstruction in guinea pigs. Studies of action potential (AP) threshold were then performed and compared with histologic findings. Action potential thresholds were significantly increased in the hydrops ears. The close relationship between AP changes and hydrops was sufficient to allow the detection of hydrops by AP threshold measurements alone. The AP threshold changes were positively related to the degree of hydrops and postoperative interval in a manner consistent with hearing changes seen in Meniere's disease. Based upon the foregoing, experimental endolymphatic hydrops appears to be a valid and usable model for the study of the cochlear aspects of Meniere's disease.

D008575	Meniere Disease	A disease of the inner ear (LABYRINTH) that is characterized by fluctuating SENSORINEURAL HEARING LOSS; TINNITUS; episodic VERTIGO; and aural fullness. It is the most common form of endolymphatic hydrops.

D004487	Edema	Abnormal fluid accumulation in TISSUES or body cavities. Most cases of edema are present under the SKIN in SUBCUTANEOUS TISSUE.	Dropsy,Hydrops,Anasarca
D006168	Guinea Pigs	A common name used for the genus Cavia. The most common species is Cavia porcellus which is the domesticated guinea pig used for pets and biomedical research.	Cavia,Cavia porcellus,Guinea Pig,Pig, Guinea,Pigs, Guinea
D000159	Vestibulocochlear Nerve	The 8th cranial nerve. The vestibulocochlear nerve has a cochlear part (COCHLEAR NERVE) which is concerned with hearing and a vestibular part (VESTIBULAR NERVE) which mediates the sense of balance and head position. The fibers of the cochlear nerve originate from neurons of the SPIRAL GANGLION and project to the cochlear nuclei (COCHLEAR NUCLEUS). The fibers of the vestibular nerve arise from neurons of Scarpa's ganglion and project to the VESTIBULAR NUCLEI.
