Extra internal hair cells. A scanning electron microscopic study.

I Kawabata, Y Nomura

    Acta Oto-Laryngologica
    |May 1, 1978
    PubMed
    Summary

    Extra internal hair cells (EIHC) are common in the human cochlea, often near inner hair cells (IHC). Abnormal inner pillar cells and their relationships with displaced hair cells were observed, suggesting embryological origins for these cochlear anomalies.

    Area of Science:

    • Otoacoustic Emissions and Auditory Neuroscience
    • Human Cochlear Anatomy and Development

    Background:

    • The human cochlea's sensory epithelium contains inner hair cells (IHCs) crucial for hearing.
    • The presence and structural implications of extra internal hair cells (EIHC) are not fully understood.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the occurrence and anatomical relationships of EIHC in the human cochlea.
    • To classify the structural variations involving EIHC, IHC, and inner pillar cells.
    • To explore the embryological basis of these observed cochlear anomalies.

    Main Methods:

    • Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was utilized for high-resolution imaging of human cochlear tissues.
    • Systematic observation and classification of EIHC presence and spatial arrangement relative to IHCs and inner pillar cells.
    • Analysis of structural abnormalities in inner pillar cells and their association with hair cell displacement.

    Main Results:

    • Extra internal hair cells (EIHC) were frequently identified across all turns of the human cochlea.
    • EIHC were consistently located medial to the standard inner hair cell (IHC) row.
    • Abnormalities in inner pillar cell structure were noted, with five distinct types of anatomical relationships identified between displaced hair cells and inner pillar cells.

    Conclusions:

    • The frequent occurrence of EIHC suggests they are a common feature in human cochlear development.
    • Observed structural anomalies and specific anatomical relationships point towards developmental origins of these variations.
    • Further embryological investigation is warranted to elucidate the precise mechanisms leading to EIHC formation and associated structural changes.
