本文报告一位57岁女性，因多发性中耳炎复发而突发性耳聋，在扫描电子显微镜下观察其左耳。耳蜗各回Corti器明显变性，盖膜移位并被包裹。前庭椭圆囊斑和囊斑感觉细胞明显减少，半规管壶腹嵴感觉毛束完全消失。这些发现有力地表明，在这种情况下，突发性耳聋的原因可能是病毒。强调扫描电子显微镜在人类颞骨病理学中的作用。
The left ear of a 57-year-old female who suffered sudden deafness during the course of relapsing polychondritis was examined under a scanning electron microscope. Marked degeneration of the organ of Corti in all turns and dislocated and encapsulated tectorial membrane were found in the cochlea. Marked decrease in number of the sensory cells in the utricular and saccular maculae and total loss of sensory hair bundles in the ampullary cristae of the semicircular canals were seen in the vestibule. These findings strongly suggest that the cause of sudden deafness in this case might be viral. The usefulness of scanning electron microscopy in human temporal bone pathology is stressed.
