Abstract

Cochlear and cerebral blood flows were measured in albino rabbits by the microsphere method before and 15 min after intravenous administration of glycerol. Both cochlear and cerebral blood flow were significantly increased. The increase in cochlear blood circulation is interpreted as a contributory factor in producing the improvements in hearing threshold seen in the positive glycerol test in Ménière's disease.
