The structure of the macula located in the utricle and the saccule differs from the crista in that the mac­ula is flattened like a patch. The center of the macula has a narrow curved zone extending through its mid­dle called the striola. Type 1 hair cells predominate on the striola while type 2 hair cells are located away from it. The gelatinous matrix covering the macular surface contains small calcium carbonate crystals and is called the otoconial (or otolithic) membrane.
The unique geometrical arrangement of the cris­tae to the semicircular canals and the maculae to the utricle and saccule allow the semicircular canals to re­spond to angular acceleration and the otoconial organs to respond to gravitational pull.
CLINICAL CAVEAT: Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is caused by dislodgement of otoco­nia from the macule. When the head is placed into the provoking position, the free otoconia fall either inferiorly onto the posterior semicircular canal crista (most commonly) or horizontally onto the lateral se micircular canal crista. Displacement of the cu­pula by the weight of the calcium carbonate crystals stimulates that angular acceleration receptor organ, giving the patient a false sense of spinning. Using a canalith repositioning technique moves the crystals from the ampullary (active) end of the canal to the nonampullated end, and often resolves the problem.

AFFERENT PATHWAYS
1. Afferent Auditory Pathways
These consist of dendrites of neurons whose cell bod­ies comprise the spiral ganglion in Rosenthal’s canal in the modiolus of the cochlea. The total neuronal popu­lation of the human cochlea is approximately 35,000. There are two types of neurons. The type 1 neurons are large and bipolar and connect exclusively with in­ner hair cells. Type 1 neurons constitute about 95% of the neuronal population. Type 2 cochlear neurons have very small fibers, connect exclusively to outer hair cells, and constitute the other 5% of the total neuronal pop­ulation. (See Figure 2–11.) Each inner hair cell is inner­vated by 10 to 20 type 1 neurons. Conversely, each type 2 neuron innervates several outer hair cells. Modiolar fi ­bers from the cochlear neurons cross the tunnel of Corti to reach the bases of outer hair cells.
The orderly spatial arrangement of the cochlear neurons is maintained in the cochlear nerve trunk and continues into the cochlear nuclei. The nerve fibers from the basal turn are peripherally located, and those from the apical turn are in the central region of the nerve trunk. On entering the brainstem, the fibers end in the cochlear nucleus, the major portion going to the ventral cochlear nucleus. Ascending fibers from the dorsal nucleus cross the midline to enter the contralateral lateral lemniscus. From there, fibers ascend to the inferior colliculus. From the ventral cochlear nucleus fibers go to both the con­tralateral and ipsilateral superior olive (Figure 7–3).
The distant projections from the inferior collicu­lus are mainly to the medial geniculate body. There are crossover connections between the two inferior col­liculi—but no such connections connect the two me­dial geniculate bodies. Each cochlea has nearly equal bilat eral neuronal connections to the level of medial ge­nic ulate bodies and thus to the auditory cortices.
The inferior division lying on the inferior vestibular nerve supplies the posterior semicircular canal crista and the saccular macula. Medial to the vestibular gan­glion, the two nerves merge into a single trunk which enters the brainstem. The average number of vestibu­lar fibers in each ear is approximately 18,000.
Central projections: The vestibular fibers end in four major vestibular nuclei termed superior, medial, lateral, and descending. They are all in a single com­pact oval mass and located medial to the cochlear nu­cleus in the brainstem. Fibers from the two maculae reach the medial and lateral vestibular nuclei; fibers from the semicircular canals reach three nuclei—su­perior, medial, and lateral. From the four nuclei two connections are made—one vestibulo-ocular and the other vestibulo-spinal. Vestibulo-ocular fibers arise from the superior, medial, and lateral nuclei, pass via the medial longitudinal bundle, and make connections with the third, fourth, and sixth cranial nerve nuclei (Fig ure 7–4).
Vestibulo-spinal fibers arise from the lateral, me­dial, and descending nuclei, reach the anterior horns of the spinal cord, and mediate trunk and limb muscle reflexes (Figure 7–5).
CLINICAL CAVEAT: An unusual but reported cause of persistent vestibulopathy following labyrinthec­tomy is development of a neuroma in Scarpa’s gan­glion in the IAC.
EFFERENT PATHWAYS
2. Afferent Vestibular Pathways
The vestibular ganglion, also known as Scarpa’s gan­glion, is made up of bipolar neurons lying in two sets of cell masses attached to the two vestibular nerves (superior and inferior) as they lie in the internal audi­tory canal. The superior division lying on the superior vestibular nerve supplies the crista of the superior and lateral semicircular canals and the utricular macula.
1. Efferent Cochlear Pathways
There exist many efferent neurons that descend paral­leling the ascending pathways and link the auditory cortex with lower auditory centers and the organ of Corti. The efferent bundle that originates in the supe­rior olivary complex and termed the olivocochlear bun­dle (of Rasmussen) is composed of 500 to 600 crossed and uncrossed fibers. This efferent nerve bundle sends collaterals to the ventral cochlear nucleus and travels in the vestibular root to emerge from the brainstem in the inferior vestibular nerve. The bundle then joins the

cochlear nerve via the vestibulocochlear anastomosis (of Oort). It is characteristic for the efferent fibers to ramify numerously at every level before terminating. The fibers enter Rosenthal’s canal in the modiolus. Branched fibers end on the nerve chalice of inner hair cells and also pass through the tunnel of Corti to end on cell bodies of outer hair cells. The total number of efferent cochlear fibers is approximately 40,000.
2. Efferent Vestibular Pathways
It has been shown that efferent vestibular pathways do exist. They travel along with cochlear efferents until meeting up with the inferior vestibular nerve. Passing
further, the fibers disperse as scattered fibers to the rami supplying the maculae of the otolithic organs and cris­tae of the semicircular canals. The total number of ef­ferent vestibular fibers is between 200 and 300.

Vertical Temporal Bone Sections with
Corresponding Radiographic Images
Hosakere K. Chandrasekhar and Sujana S. Chandrasekhar
Over the following vertical temporal bone histology sections, the reader will be able to see detailed anat­omy and follow structures in the same plane as is seen during the lateral approach to the mastoid in surgery. They are paired with sagittal CT and MR images. Nor­mally, on radiographic images, the temporal bone is viewed in the axial and coronal planes, with sagittal views reserved for particular conditions such as supe­rior semicircular canal dehiscence syndrome (SSCD or SCDS, Minor’s syndrome)1 or as an adjunct view. Tem­poral bone histology sections are never prepared in the coronal plane; therefore, the clinician must extrapolate their knowledge of horizontal and vertical laboratory slides in order to appreciate the structures seen on cor­onal radiologic images. The reader is again asked to look at the unmarked pictures first and try to identify the structures on both histology and radiograph, and then turn the eye to the marked pictures as a form of self-guided learning and assessment. Along the way, the reader will find some clinical caveats of interest to the ear surgeon as well as the radiologist interpreting these studies for the otolaryngologist.
Please bear in mind that the histology sections are 20 µm (0.02 mm) thick while the CT images are 1 mm thick and the MR images are 0.3 mm thick. The CT images have been reformatted in this plane and are presented in bone windows as these are the most ef­fective for temporal bone assessment. MR images are acquired in this plane but do not offer the type of osse­ous definition seen in CT; they are useful for soft tissue delineation.
For the vertical sections, the images will begin lat­erally at the external auditory canal (EAC) and mastoid antrum and go medially. The hisotologic sections are
20 µm thick and every 10th section is stained, so that each successive figure is 0.2 mm from the previous one. The orientation of the images is as if for a left sagittal CT scan, or as if the patient is sitting upright with the left ear toward the examiner. The anterior structures such as the EAC are to the reader’s left, the posterior struc­tures such as the mastoid are to the right; the middle fossa dura is superior, and the mastoid tip is inferior. For a more surgical orientation, the reader should ro­tate the image 90 degrees to the right, so that the EAC is superior. A representative surgical photograph in the proper surgical orientation is shown in Figure 8–5 on page 136.
VERTICAL SECTION 1
These lateral-most vertical sections and sagittal CT scans demonstrate the relationship of the EAC, mas­toid antrum, and tegmen. The vertical nerve seen on the histologic image is the chorda tympani nerve, but it indicates how lateral the vertical (mastoid) facial nerve is. The facial nerve’s vertical lie from the second surgical genu to the stylomastoid foramen moves from medial to lateral. In a study of 25 cadaveric temporal bones, the mean depth of the second genu from the outer cortex was 21.6 mm ± 2.62 (range 18 mm to 26 mm), while the mean depth of the facial nerve from the cortex at the stylomastoid foramen was 12.8 mm ± 2.42 (range 9 mm to 17 mm). stylomastoid foramen marking the exit of the facial nerve from the temporal bone is seen.
