The development of the endolymphatic duct and sac. A light microscopical study.

The development and maturation of the endolymphatic sac were studied in the CBA/CBA mouse. The otocyst is developed at gestational day 10 and the primitive endolymphatic sac is present as a large slit-like appendage at day 12 of gestation. At day 18 the endolymphatic sac is clearly detached from the rest of the otocyst, forming a true sac. The epithelial lining consists of only one layer of immature cells containing large vesicles. The endolymphatic sac is surrounded by a rich network of vessels. One day before birth, the epithelial lining is uneven and the first signs of differentiation into light and dark cells is visible. This situation is more pronounced 2 days post partum when the sac also seems to be filled with a stainable material. At day 6 post partum the otic capsule fuses around the sac, forming the vestibular aqueduct. At 14 days post partum the sac is mature, with clearly developed light and dark cells and widened lateral intercellular spaces, constituting the rugose epithelium. The lumen is filled with a stainable precipitate and a few free-floating cells.
