Abstract
Perilymphatic and endolymphatic pressures were measured consecutively in th e normal guinea pig using a WPI 900A micropressure system. The mean (n = 10 ) perilymphatic and endolymphatic pressures were 2.26 and 2.31 cm H2O, resp ectively. There was no statistically significant difference between the pre ssures of the endolymphatic and perilymphatic compartments. The measured va lues were within the range of pressures found in the literature.
