In 1983, Stahle and Wilbrand examined 63 patients and claimed that there is a correlation between defective pneumatization of the temporal bone, the length of the aqueductus vestibuli, and Meniere's disease. Since our own x-ray and surgical findings did not agree with those of Stahle and Wilbrand, we examined and assessed the pneumatization of the temporal bone volumetrically in 104 patients suffering from Meniere's disease. These examinations took place at the Ear, Nose and Throat Clinic of the University of Essen from 1972 to 1987. For our investigation, we used the method of Günnel and compared our findings with those of Stahle and Wilbrand, arriving at an almost reverse distribution ratio. From our results, we conclude that a relationship between the degree of pneumatization of the temporal bone and Meniere's disease seems questionable.
1983年，施塔勒和威尔布兰德检查了63名患者，并声称颞骨气化不良、前庭导水管长度与梅尼埃病之间存在关联。由于我们自己的X射线和手术结果与施塔勒和威尔布兰德的结果不一致，我们对104例梅尼埃病患者的颞骨气化作了体积测量检查和评估。这些检查于1972年至1987年在埃森大学耳鼻喉科诊所进行。在我们的研究中，我们采用了京内尔的方法，并将我们的结果与施塔勒和威尔布兰德的结果进行比较，得出了几乎相反的分布比例。根据我们的结果，我们得出结论，颞骨气化程度与梅尼埃病之间的关系似乎存在疑问。
