  • Title: Lymphocytic streaming as an indicator of inner ear compartmentalization.
    Author: Roffman G, Babin RW.
    Journal: Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg; 1981; 89(5):836-40. PubMed ID: 6799918.
    Abstract:
    Despite a great deal of anatomic and physiologic data in animals, controversy still exists over whether or not the perilymphatic space in man is directly connected to the intracranial space via a patent cochlear aqueduct or other fluid channel. Human physiologic data are limited, indirect, and conflicting. Anatomic and pathologic data have heretofore been inadequate for answering the question convincingly. The temporal bones of a 19-year-old woman with central nervous system lymphoblastic leukemia are discussed. The passive-appearing movement of lymphoblasts between cerebrospinal fluid and perilymphatic spaces suggests both a functionally patent cochlear aqueduct and alternate pathways.
