Occlusion of the anterior vestibular artery has resulted in severe degeneration and new bone formation limited to the utricle, saccule, and superior and lateral semicircular canals. Depriving the inner ear of its main blood supply, i.e. the internal auditory artery, has resulted in severe degeneration and ossification of the entire membranous labyrinth, except the endolymphatic duct and sac. A more severe cochlear sclerosis was seen when both arterial and venous blood supplies to the cochlea were occluded. The implications of these findings on the etiology and management of inner ear disorders are emphasized.
前庭前动脉闭塞导致严重退变和新骨形成，且仅限于椭圆囊、球囊以及上半规管和外侧半规管。内耳主要血供即内听动脉被阻断后，除内淋巴管和内淋巴囊外，整个膜迷路均出现严重退变和骨化。当耳蜗的动静脉血供均被阻断时，可观察到更严重的耳蜗硬化。文中强调了这些发现对内耳疾病病因学及治疗的意义。
