Summary Early post mortem changes in the Organ of Corti are described. 15 minutes after death, when kept at room temperature, 20° C (63° F), an oedematous swelling is observed within the cytoplasm of hair cells and nerve endings, the latter being more severe affected. After 30 minutes post mortem the mitochondria of the hair cells have also become significantly swollen. Three hours post mortem the general character of the hair cells is still recognizable, but most of the nerve endings have been completely destroyed.
