title: [Pressure relations between endocranial and intracochlear fluid spaces in patients with inner ear diseases].
abstract: Intracranial pressure is transmitted to the perilymph of the cochlea via the cochlear aquaeduct and via Reissner's membrane to the endolymph. The "Tympanic Membrane Displacement Analyser (TDA)" is a new device that may be a useful non-invasive method to show intracranial and intracochlear pressure changes indirectly measured by tympanic membrane displacement during stapedial reflex contraction. The TDA was utilised in 20 normal persons and in 29 patients with unilateral diseases of the inner ear. No significant differences in the tympanic membrane displacement were found between patients with sensorineural hearing loss, patients with Ménière's disease, and normal persons.
