Distribution of cochlear macrophages. Schematic drawing shows the cross section of the cochlear duct. Cochlear macrophages reside in the spiral ligament and spiral limbus where fibrocytes are located to keep ion exchanges. In addition, macrophages are distributed in the spiral ganglion. Finally, macrophage-like melanocytes are observed in the intermediate layer of the stria vascularis.
