Endolymphatic shunt

Definition

A sterile tube or sheet surgically implanted in the membranous labyrinth of the inner ear to drain excess endolymphatic fluid typically as treatment for Meniere's disease, an inner ear disorder. The device permits unrestricted flow of the fluid from the distended end of the endolymphatic system into the mastoid cavity where resorption occurs. It is typically made of silicone. This is a single-use device.
