Abstract
The cochlear and cerebral blood flows were investigated in albino rabbits with the microsphere method, both before and after intravenous injection of hyper-osmotic solutions of urea or mannitol. A significant increase in blood flow was recorded in both the inner ear and the brain. The discrepancies in the effects on blood flow and on hearing in patients with Meniere's disease provided by urea and mannitol are discussed.This publication has 13 references indexed in Scilit:
