Abstract

The temporal bone vestibular pathologies of 23 totally deaf ears (16 patients) were studied. Abnormal findings in the saccule were seen more often than in the other vestibular sensory organs. Abnormal findings in the vestibular ganglion cells were found in 7 ears. There were fewer ears with main damage in the hair cells than with main damage in the nerves.
