[The venous drainage of the vestibular labyrinth in man (author's transl)].

The venous drainage of the vestibular division of the inner ear presents two different and separated routes. One, draining the central part of the sensorial areas (maculae and cristae), ends up into the vein of the cochlear aqueduct. The other drains the perypheral part of the sensorial areas as well as the simple endolymphatic walls and ends into the vein of the vestibular aqueduct. The latter vein shows close relationships to the endolymphatic sac.
