Computer-Aided Reconstruction of the Endolymphatic Sac

Abstract
Computer-aided 3-dimensional reconstruction techniques along with surface area and volume determinations were applied to the intraosseous portion of the human endolymphatic sac. Three-dimensional reconstruction has revealed that the lumen of the sac is a series of parallel tubules rather than folds. Surface-to-volume ratio determinations may reveal that the resorptive capacity of epithelium in this portion of the sac is significantly reduced in patients with Meniere''s disease.
