brain. The VA is often identi fied in the radiographic image at or just below the IAC. The normal width of the VA at its midpoint is 0.9 mm or smaller, and at its opercular width is 1.9 mm or smaller.16 A good rule of thumb on CT and MR imaging is that the diameter of the VA should be no larger than the diameter of its neighboring posterior semicircular canal (Figure 6–40).
The cochlear aqueduct (CA) lies in a plane paral­lel and inferior to the IAC. It provides a potential com­munication between the subarachnoid space and the perilymph. Its opening into the cochlea is at the medial aspect of the basal turn of the cochlea. The average size of the CA is 2.9 mm.17 The CA is a preformed pathway for the communication of meningitis to the cochlea.18

A patent or enlarged CA may predispose to perilymph “gusher” or leak of cerebrospinal fluid from the stapes opening during stapedectomy or stapedotomy surgery.
CLINICAL CAVEAT: In cases of meningitis and transmission of infection via the cochlear aqueduct to the cochlea, rapid post-inflammatory ossification of the cochlea can occur. This complicates or some­times eliminates the option of cochlear implantation in post-meningitically deafened individuals. In the early years of cochlear implantation in the United States, the normal six-month hearing aid trial was foregone in cases of sensorineural hearing loss after meningitis, in order to achieve implantation prior to this labyrinthitis ossificans setting in.
THE FACIAL RECESS AND SINUS TYMPANI
Two important aspects of the posterior wall of the meso­tympanum (middle ear) are the facial recess (FR) and the sinus tympani (ST). The boundaries of the FR, from lateral to medial, are the chorda tympani nerve medial to the tympanic membrane, and the pyramidal process/
vertical facial nerve. The boundaries of the ST, from lat­eral to medial, are the pyramidal process and the prom­ontory. Superiorly and inferiorly are the ponticulus and the U-shaped subiculum, which are two small bony ridges. The ponticulus is a horizontal “bridge” that runs from the posterior border of the sinus tympani to the posterior oval window. The subiculum is a thickened piece of bone that runs from the posterior part of the sinus tympani, overlying it and getting attached to the border of the RWN. Sometimes this is described as a “horse collar” that thickens at the posterior border of the round window. The trough of the subiculum is pos­terior to the floor of the RWN. The ST can extend verti­cally, longer than expected.19 Examination of the sinus tympani has been greatly enhanced with the develop­ment of otoendoscopes20 (Figure 6–41).
CLINICAL CAVEAT: In cholesteatoma surgery, the ST and FR can be sites of hidden disease. Opening the FR is accomplished either by drilling between the CT and the FN or by taking down the posterior external auditory canal and therefore exposing the FR. This does not open the ST, however. The oto­logic surgeon must be careful to examine the ST, either directly or with endoscopes, as even with a canal-wall-down technique there can be keratin hid­den away in it.

MID-MODIOLAR SECTION OF COCHLEA

https://t.me/med1917
This mid-modiolar section of the human cochlea dem­onstrates the full 2¾ turns of the cochlea. The central modiolus contains the ganglion cells of the cochlear nerve. Osseous spiral laminae emerge from the mo­diolus to secure the basilar membrane medially. Lat­erally, the spiral ligament and stria vascularis are the insertion points of the basilar membrane. Reissner’s membrane separates the scala media which contains endolymph from the scala vestibuli which, along with the scala tympani, contains perilymph. Note the dense otic capsule bone surrounding the cochlea.
The proximity of the cochlea to the cochleariform (“spoon shaped”) process which guides the tensor tympani tendon to the neck of the malleus is seen here. Similarly seen is the relationship between the anterior stapedovestibular joint—the annulus of the stapes footplate—and the saccular membrane and macule as well as the cochlea. Not seen in this particular section is the fissula ante fenestram, an outpouching of con­nective tissue in continuity with the perilymph in the vestibule just anterior to the anterior stapedovestibular joint. That is the primary site of predilection for the de­velopment of otospongiosis.

SCALA MEDIA
The scala media of the cochlea is bounded by the basi­lar membrane inferiorly, separating it from scala tym­pani, and Reissner’s membrane superiorly, separating it from scala vestibuli. The scala media contains endo­lymph and is the home of the organ of Corti, the sense organ of the cochlea. Chapter 7 explains the microanat­omy of the cochlea in detail. At this point, however, the student should be able to recognize the following structures. The tectorial membrane, which in life sits on the cilia of the hair cells in the organ of Corti has in this postmortem slide been pulled off so that it is only attached medially at the inner sulcus. The inner sulcus and outer sulcus, the spiral ligament, and the stria vas­cularis are identified. There is one row of inner (type 1) hair cells and there are three rows of outer (type 2) hair cells, with the Tunnel of Corti in between. The support­ing cells are identified in Chapter 7. Rosenthal’s canal transmits the nerve fibers from the organ of Corti to the cochlear ganglion in the modiolus.
CLINICAL CAVEAT: Otosclerosis is symptomatic in only 10% of cases. This is because otospongiotic and otosclerotic changes involving only the fissula ante fenestram or fossula post fenestram do not cause hearing impairment. Only as the focus extends to involve the stapedovestibular joint at the footplate will the conductive hearing loss develop.

The Cochlea, Vestibule,
and Central Connections
Hosakere K. Chandrasekhar
Three basic components comprise the sensory endor­gan in the cochlea and the vestibule. They are: (1) sen­sory cells; (2) supporting cells; and (3) gelatinous ma­trices. The cochlear sensory endorgan is termed the organ of Corti and that of the vestibular system is called the crista in the semicircular canals and the macula in the utricle and saccule.
ORGAN OF CORTI
This is the cochlear excitatory structure present within the cochlear duct, which is the scala media of the co­chlea. The principal cytologic structures include the sensory cells known as hair cells and supporting cells which are named the pillar cells, Deiter’s cells, Hen ­sen’s cells, and the inner and outer sulcus cells. The ge­latinous matrix that canopies over these cells is called the tectorial membrane (Figure 7–1).
There are approximately 12,500 outer and 3500 in ­ner hair cells. The outer (type 2) hair cells have an elon­gated cylindrical shape and are supported by Deiter’s cells. The inner (type 1) hair cells are pear-shaped and cells similar to Deiter’s cells support the inner hair cells along the medial wall of the tunnel of Corti. (See Fig ­ure 2–9.) Hair cell apices are held by the reticular mem­brane. Each hair cell carries 50 to 150 stereocilia which stand perpendicular to the tectorial membrane and pi vot around their bases. The subcellular bodies of the hair cells include a large nucleus, mitochondria, and Golgi bodies. In each bundle of stereocilia there is one stiff cilium called the kinocilium. The kinocilium is at one edge of the hair cell; the stereocilia closest to it
are the longest ones, with their lengths becoming pro­gressively smaller away from the kinocilium. The ki­nocilium is non-motile, while the stereocilia are mo­tile, and it is fixed to the basal body on the tectorial membrane.
Deiter’s cells have large cell bodies resting on the basilar membrane. These cells exert a steadying influ­ence on the hair cells and are presumed to secrete the gelatinous matrix which is called the tectorial mem­brane. The tectorial membrane extends from the lim­bus over the organ of Corti. It wafts in the endolymph with sound wave movement of the basilar membrane and that excites the hairs of the hair cells in generating the neural impulses translating that mechanical and fluid energy into electrical energy ready to be transmit­ted along the cochlear nerve.
THE CRISTA AND THE MACULA
The three bony semicircular canal ampullae accommo­date the membranous ampullae. Within the membra­nous ampulla a crest-like septum called the crista crosses the base of the ampulla. The crista is made up of sensory epithelium distributed on a mound of fibrous tissue, blood vessels, and nerve fibers. A gelatinous cupula cov ­ers the mound and extends to the opposing wall of the ampulla (Figure 7–2).
Ampullary hair cells are both types 1 and 2. Type 1 hair cells are found on the apex of the mound and type 2 hair cells are located on the slopes. The crista and cu­pula lie perpendicular to the plane of each semicircular canal.
