CLINICAL CAVEAT: Note the intimate relation­ship between the lateral wall of the carotid artery to the medial wall of the osseous ET, as seen in Horizontal Section 8 and 10 Radiograph. Attempted dilatation of the bony ET could result in carotid ar­tery injury and secondary sequelae. Currently, sur­gery for ET dilatory dysfunction is performed in the cartilaginous ET and minimizes the risk of carotid artery wall fracture/clot/embolus.
HORIZONTAL SECTION 11
Horizontal Section 11 is an inferior horizontal histo­logic section demonstrating the relationship between the round window membrane and scala tympani of the basal turn of the cochlea (containing perilymph) with the cochlear aqueduct leading to the subarach­noid space. Also seen here are the chorda tympani nerve in iter chordae posterior, just medial to the mem­branous annulus of the tympanic membrane; the facial recess—bounded laterally by the chorda and medially by the facial nerve; the facial nerve; the stapedius mus­cle which lies immediately anterior to the vertical lie of the facial nerve; the sinus tympani—bounded laterally by the facial nerve and medially by the inner ear; the posterior semicircular canal (PSCC); the singular nerve which supplies the crista of the PSCC and fuses with the inferior vestibular nerve in the internal auditory canal (IAC)—not shown here; and Jacobson’s nerve on the promontory.
Jacobson’s nerve is the tympanic branch of the ninth cranial nerve—the glossopharyngeal nerve, aris­ing from its inferior ganglion. It also carries pregangli-
onic parasympathetic fibers from the inferior salivary nucleus, which eventually enter the otic ganglion. Ja­cobson’s nerve enters the middle ear cavity via the in­ferior tympanic canaliculus and contributes to the tym­panic plexus located on the cochlear promontory. The parasympathetic fibers leave the plexus as the lesser pe­trosal nerve.
CLINICAL CAVEAT: Jacobson’s nerve has two important roles in otolaryngologic pathology. The neuroendocrine cells of this nerve give rise to glo­mus tympanicum tumors, which are often identi­fied early as small vascular spheres on the prom­ontory. It has been shown, however, that glomus tympanicum tumors may arise from multiple sites on the medial wall of the middle ear.10 In cases of severe hypersalivation and drooling, sectioning of bilateral Jacobson’s nerves (severing all branches of the tympanic plexus) and bilateral chorda tym­pani nerves can be effective in ¾ of patients.

THE ROUND WINDOW MEMBRANE
The round window membrane (RWM), also known as the “secondary tympanic membrane,” marks the ter­mination of the cochlear duct at the basilar turn. It lies within the round window niche (RWN) and is perpen­dicular to the lie of the oval window (OW). The open­ing of the RWN, however, is often in a similar plane to the oval OW, and can be obscured by a thin adhesion.

CLINICAL CAVEAT: The novice otologic surgeon may mistake an adhesion across the RWN as the ac­tual RWM. It is important to keep in mind that, sim­ilar to other right angle relationships in the ear, the OW and the RWM are at approximately 90 degrees to each other. Proper exposure of the actual RWM is often accomplished by at least removal of that ad­hesion, if not removal of a portion of the bone of the RWN. This becomes important for any procedure needing access to the RWM, including cochlear or active middle ear device implantation, fistula re­pair, and application of intratympanic medications to the cochlea.
The RWM is a semipermeable membrane made up of an outer epithelium, an inner core of connective tissue, and an inner epithelium.12 The RWM is thick­est in humans, at 70 µm. Permeability factors include size, concentration, liposolubility, and electrical charge of the substrate, as well as thickness of the membrane. Passage of substances through the RWM is by different pathways, decided at the outer epithelium.13
The shape of the RWM is also of importance. It has a large area of flat surface along with a concave and convex structure with a saddle point at which nega­tive and positive curvatures manifest themselves in different directions. This is shown by micro-computed tomography, white laser interferometry, and stitching
together of the data sets acquired by those means sepa-

rately,
and is important in the development of active
middle-ear hearing transducers placed at the RWM.
CLINICAL CAVEAT: Semi-permeability of the RWM is important in protection of the inner from middle ear pathogens, such as those causing otitis media. The permeability of the RWM to certain agents such as aminoglycoside antibiotics and steroids has enabled the growth of interest in, and application of, intratympanic injections for various inner ear diseases including Meniere’s disease and sudden sensorineural hearing loss. There are agents that, when applied topically, increase permeability of the RWM and can therefore be used as facilitators of transport across the RWM. These include histamine and hyaluronic acid.

THE COCHLEAR AND
VESTIBULAR AQUEDUCTS
The vestibular aqueduct (VA) lies in a plane perpendic­ular to the IAC and transmits the endolymphatic duct and sac. Lateral to the sac, the opening to the posterior fossa is covered by the operculum, a shelf of bone on the posterior surface of the temporal bone that pro­tects the endolymphatic sac from the pulsations of the
