Owing to the morphological, physiological and pathophysiological similarities in the vasculature of the brain and the inner ear, the term apoplexy can also be applied to the inner ear. The apoplexy of the labyrinth is defined as an acute and severe panlabyrinthic disturbance with sudden hearing loss or deafness in association with vestibular functional disorders. The apoplexy may occur after hemorrhage as a result of inner ear blood vessel ruptures or after malacias following localised ischemias just as it occurs in the brain. Treatment of such cases were carried out by application of high doses of cortison. The prognosis of these inner ear disturbances is unfavourable.
由于大脑和内耳血管在形态学、生理学和病理生理学上的相似性，“中风”一词也可用于内耳。迷路中风被定义为一种急性、严重的全迷路功能障碍，伴有突发听力丧失或耳聋，并伴有前庭功能障碍。中风可能发生在内耳血管破裂导致出血后，或局部缺血后软化，就像在大脑中发生的那样。此类病例通过应用大剂量皮质类固醇进行治疗。这些内耳功能障碍的预后不佳。
