Abstract
The various constituents of the tubules of the human adult intraosseou s endolymphatic sac were stained with lectins and Millon reaction to r eveal some of the carbohydrate and protein-containing substances in th e endolymph. The amount of each substance was determined by digitizing sequential temporal bone sections. Differing amounts of the various i dentified substances were found in sacs from patients with Meniere's d isease, patients with labyrinthine fibrosis, and controls.
