Mondini氏內耳發育不良其病變爲內耳骨性迷路及膜性迷路結構的不正常,此疾病常合併其他器官的病變。本科報告病例爲26個月的小男孩,是因先天性心臟病去世,經死後15小時屍體解剖,且取出顳骨,經固定、脫鈣、中和、脫水、賽璐錠(celloidin)包埋、硬化後,以20μ的厚度,水平方位連續切片。其屍體解剖結果發現爲先天性心臟病,肝臟腫大,無脾臟,而顳骨病理組織切片發現爲Mondini氏內耳發育不良。主要變化爲(1)耳蝸融合成圓形狀,骨螺旋板(osseous spiral lamina)變形;(2)柯氏器(organ of corti)只有少量的上皮細胞,無毛髮細胞;(3)半規管變形;(4)內聽道篩板(lamina cribrosa)缺損;(5)耳蝸與前庭廣泛相通;(6)鐙骨足板細薄不規則及鐙骨發育不全;(7)顏面神經管裂縫及裸露。
Mondini dysplasia is characterized by bony and membranous anomalies of the inner ear exhibiting a wide range of morphologic abnormality. Mondini dysplasia may occur in association with anomalies in other organs. A 26-month-old boy died of congenital heart disease. His temporal bone was harvested within 15 hours after death, processed and embedded in celloidin. Sections were cut in the horizontal plane at a thickness of 20μm and stained with H & E for light microscopic study. The autopsy findings of this boy include heart disease, hepatomegaly and asplenia. The temporal bone pathologic findings were: (1) the cochlea is a round space with deformed osseous spiral lamina; (2) the organ of Corti is a small mound of epithelial cell with no hair cells; (3) the semicircular canals are deformed; (4)the bony plate of the lamina cribrosa is deficient in the internal auditory canal; (5) the cochlea is wide communication with the vestibule; (6) the stapes footplate is thin and irregular, the stapes is in incomplete development; (7) the facial nerve canal is dehiscent and the facial nerve exposed.
