Figure 5-3. Normal facial nerve on horizontal temporal bone section. The white arrow demarcates the labyrinthine segment of the nerve as it leaves the IAC laterally. The black arrow points to the geniculate ganglion. The green arrow shows the horizontal (tympanic) section of the facial nerve. Note the malleus and incus in the epitympanum lateral to the Fallopian canal.
congenital, inflammatory, infectious, traumatic, and neoplastic etiologies. Computed tomography (CT) is use ful for identifying bony abnormalities of the intra­temporal facial nerve, which can occur with congenital malformations, trauma, and cholesteatoma. Magnetic res onance imaging (MRI) is useful for identifying soft tis sue abnormalities around the facial nerve, as seen in inflammatory disorders, neoplasms, and hemifacial spasm.
Imaging technique must be tailored to the clini­cal presentation, site-of-lesion testing results, and sus-
pected pathology. High-resolution temporal bone CT is preferable for imaging the lateral course of the facial nerve from the porus acusticus to the stylomastoid fo­ramen. Temporal bone CT is particularly useful in the evaluation of the caliber and the course of the IAC and bony facial nerve canal in the temporal bone. When us­ing CT to evaluate the facial nerve, pathology often can only be inferred by the presence of erosion or destruc­tion of the adjacent bony facial nerve canal. CT images of the facial nerve (fallopian) canal in the temporal bone are shown in Figures 5–2, 5–4, and 5–7, and cor-

double-lined arrow points to the geniculate ganglion. The solid white arrow points to the horizontal (tympanic) facial nerve. Note that on this image are also seen, from medial to lateral, the IAC, the cochlea, the vestibule, the malleus and incus, and the lateral epitympanic wall (scutum).

Figure 5-5. Horizontal histology section shows the facial nerve in the anterior portion of the IAC (single white arrow), at the geniculate ganglion (double black arrow), and in its proximal horizontal (tympanic) segment (single green arrow). The ‘ice cream cone’ of the malleus head and incus body and short process are seen in the epitympanum. This section is comparable to the radiographic image in Figure 5-4.
responding horizontal temporal bone sections are seen in Figures 5–3, 5–5, 5–6, and 5–8. The reader will note that the black arrow in Figure 5–2 points to the anterior portion of the IAC, as the facial nerve is an anterosupe­rior IAC structure.
CT imaging does not provide the resolution to identify individual nerves; only the bony canal that
houses them. In contrast, MRI is better suited for eval­uating soft tissue facial nerve abnormalities. MRI can be used to image the facial nerve from the brainstem to the fundus of the internal auditory canal, as shown in Figure 5–9, and to determine the presence of perineu­ral spread from parotid malignancies, which are out of the scope of this Atlas.

horizontal (tympanic) facial nerve. From medial to lateral in the bone (lower left to upper right on the image), can be seen the internal auditory canal with some nervous structures, the cochlea anteriorly to the IAC, the vestibule posterior to the IAC, the mal­leusand the incus, and the scutum (lateral epitympanic wall).

Figure 5-8. Normal facial nerve canal on horizontal temporal bone section, further inferiorly to Figure 5-6. The black arrow points to the vertical (mastoid) facial nerve. It lies just posterior to the stapedius muscle at the pyramidal process. Also seen are the carotid artery anteriorly, the basal turn of the cochlea ending at the round window membrane, the posterior semicircular canal, and, laterally, the inferior tympanic membrane and external auditory canal.

Horizontal Temporal Bone Sections with
Corresponding Computed Tomography Images
Hosakere K. Chandrasekhar and Sujana S. Chandrasekhar
Over the following horizontal temporal bone histol­ogy sections, the reader will be able to see detailed anatomy and follow structures in the same plane as is seen on axial CT images. We ask you to look at the un­marked pictures first and try to identify the structures on both histology and radiograph, and then turn your eye to the marked pictures as a form of self-guided learning and assessment. Along the way, you will find some clinical caveats of interest to the ear surgeon as well as the radiologist interpreting these studies for the otolaryngologist.
The reader is admonished to bear in mind that the histology sections are 20 µm (0.02 mm) thick while the CT images are 1 mm thick. The CT images are pre­sented in bone windows as these are the most effective for temporal bone assessment.
For these horizontal sections, the images will be­gin superiorly at the arcuate eminence, or the loop of
the superior (anterior) semicircular canal and go inferi­orly. The histologic 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 axial CT scan, with the petrous apex off to the left, the posterior fossa dura inferiorly, and the mastoid cortex to the right.
The horizontal histologic sections and the axial computed tomography images are oriented for maxi­mal viewability such that the reader is encouraged to turn this Atlas 90 degrees to the right. The pertinent histologic section will be on the even-numbered page above and its corresponding radiographic image will be on the odd-numbered page below, and labeled im­ages will follow on the next two pages. This will allow for self-guided learning and self-assessment.
