The present study investigated immune injury associated with endolymphatic hydrops (e.hydrops) following locally mounted immune reaction in the endolymphatic sac (e.sac) of guinea pigs. E.hydrops occurred, progressing rapidly within the first week post secondary Keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) challenge in the e.sac and developed into two phases, acute and chronic. On the other hand, primary KLH challenge of the e.sac, PBS inoculation into the e.sac or intradural secondary KLH challenge were incapable of inducing e.hydrops. These results indicate that reversible and irreversible e.hydrops are induced by the immune response of the e.sac, suggesting that local immunological events of the e.sac may provide an animal model of Meniere's disease.

The development of endolymphatic hydrops (e. hydrops) following secondary e. sac immune response was investigated in Hartley guinea pigs, for a period of 5 weeks. E. hydrops immediately developed to a maximum from day 2 to day 7 and then gradually reduced in the next 4 weeks. In the e. sac, numerous inflammatory cellular infiltrates, mainly polymorphonuclear cells and macrophages, were seen from day 1 to day 2. Lymphocytes and plasma cells appeared from day 3 and increased to a maximum by day 7 and then gradually decreased in the next 4 weeks. Neither primary e. sac KLH challenge nor e. sac PBS inoculation could derive e. hydrops. Development of e. hydrops was considerably parallel to the grade of immune reaction within the e. sac, suggesting that immuno-pathological reaction of the e. sac has an important effect on regulation of the endolymph volume.
