Health | The membranous labyrinth, which is encased by bone, is necessary for hearing and balance and is filled with a fluid called endolymph. (references) | |
This process is very important because it reestablishes the barrier between the two fluids of the inner ear (perilymph and endolymph). (references) | ||
An increase in endolymph, however, can cause the membranous labyrinth to balloon or dilate, a condition known as endolymphatic hydrops. (references) | ||
