Abstract

32 rabbits suffering from simple hereditary glaucoma were studied from the ophthalmological, otological and histopathological point of view. Gonioscopy, tonometry, ophthalmo- and retinography, otoscopy, tympanometry, ABR and the corresponding histopathological studies of the eye and of the cochlea were performed. The simple hereditary glaucoma seems to be causally related with concomitant hearing loss due to congenital endolymphatic hydrops. Further studies are planed.
