Notes:
Summary We used light microscopy to study 87 human temporal bones (from 47 cases) with no known otological disorders, and found that certain cases had sclerotic changes around the endolymphatic duct and sac. Changes included fibrosis, hyalinization, psammoma formation, and thickened vascular walls. The findings were subjected to statistical analysis, which indicated that most of the changes could be positively correlated with increases in age.
