A BLB capillary in Meniere’s disease (82-year-old). Capillary located in the utricle stroma underneath the vestibular sensory epithelia. (a) Low magnification view. The vascular endothelial cell (vec) is swollen with degeneration of organelles and debris within the cytoplasm, the lumen (lu) is uneven and narrowed with pseudopodic and microvilli-like projections, the perivascular basement membrane (bm) exhibits mild thickening. (b) High magnification view (from fig a) of the vascular endothelial cell (vec). The tight junction (tj) appears normal, bm: basement membrane. Bar (a) = 1 μm, (b) = 0.5 μm.
