Experimental hydrops caused by underabsorption of endolymphatic fluid is a model of remissional stage of Meniere's disease. In this study, another type of model, ie, hydrops caused by overproduction of endolymphatic fluid, was accomplished by applying various pressures into scala media through a micropipette via stria vascularis. This type of hydrops could be a model of attacks of Meniere's disease. By using two types of the model, effects of glycerol administration and of opening the endolymphatic sac were discussed.

Educational objectives: To find a straightforward strategy in dealing with vertigo in patients with Meniere's disease who failed medical treatment, and to be familiar with fine points of surgical procedures, including endolymphatic sac surgery, cochleostomy, vestibular nerve sections, and labyrinthectomy.
