[Human Scarpa ganglion cell sheath].
The ganglion vestibulare (Scarpa) has been studied with the electron microscope on thirteen operative specimens (neurectomy for Meniere's vertigo) and two random autopsy specimens. Neuroganglionar cell bodies are enclosed in a Schwann sheath, without any myelin. This observation is at variance with previous descriptions in various vertebrate forms.
