Regeneration of Reissner's Membrane

Pages 480-485 | Published online: 08 Jul 2009
 

Abstract

Repair of Reissner's membrane following rupture by an excess of endolymph (humans) or by loud sounds (animals) has been reported, but little is known about the process itself. In this study the repair has been examined in a series of guinea pigs by conventional histology and light microscopy. The spiral limbus appears to be involved in normal maintenance of the membrane and the suprastrial area of spiral ligament seems to dominate the process of repair.
