Three pairs of temporal bones with otologic syphilis were studied histopathologically to detect obliteration of the endolymphatic duct and the associated hydrops. All cases showed infiltration and obliteration of the endolymphatic duct by round cells, giant cells, and fibrous tissue. These findings may be related to failure of medical treatment and sac surgery to arrest or alleviate symptoms of advanced syphilis.
对三例患有耳梅毒的颞骨进行了组织病理学研究，以检测内淋巴管闭塞及相关积水情况。所有病例均显示内淋巴管被圆形细胞、巨细胞和纤维组织浸润并闭塞。这些发现可能与药物治疗和囊手术未能阻止或缓解晚期梅毒症状有关。
