Histologic examination of the temporal bone of a patient with Wegener's granulomatosis showed involvement of the vessels of the endolymphatic sac (ELS) but no involvement of the vasculature of the rest of the inner ear. Autoimmune sensorineural hearing loss in this patient may have been due to interference of antigens and antibodies with the filtering capacity of the ELS, leading to imbalance of inner ear fluids. Histologic findings reemphasize that the cochlea and ELS have different blood supplies.
对一名韦格纳肉芽肿病患者的颞骨进行组织学检查发现，内淋巴囊（ELS）的血管受累，但内耳其余部分的脉管系统未受累。该患者的自身免疫性感音神经性听力损失可能是由于抗原和抗体干扰了ELS的过滤能力，导致内耳液失衡。组织学发现再次强调，耳蜗和ELS有不同的血液供应。
