Abstract
Guinea Pig Specific Cytomegalovirus was inoculated to the heart, cochlea and endolymphatic sac obliterated animals. Posterior modiolar vein (PMV) was histologically observed to evaluate its importance in viral load. Viral antigen was found in PMV in intracardiac and intrasaccular inoculated animals. The inflammatory cells were found in and around PMV and these cells were pouring from this vein to the scala tympani in other group. These finding indicate this vein play an important roll to communicate systemic circulation to the cochlea in viral lord.
