By injecting several kinds of tracers into the CSF of guinea pigs, it was shown by light, electronmicroscopy and roentgenography that close connections exist between the CSF and the lymphatic system in the region of the ear, nose, and throat.The injected tracers were found to take the following three paths, as shown in the figure. A was along the olfactory nerve to the submucous tissue of the nose, to that of the pharynx and then to the lymph nodes of the deep neck region. B was through the perilymphatic space of the inner ear and the round window to the middle ear, then along the Eustachian tube to the pharynx, and then to the lymph nodes of the deep neck region. C was also through the perilymphatic space of the inner ear and the round window to the middle ear but then went through the subcutaneous tissue of the outer ear to the postauricular lymph nodes.
