10 ANATOMY OF THE TEMPORAL BONE WITH SURGICAL IMPLICATIONS
Figure 12
Note the normal thinness of the skin lin­ing the anterior wall of the bony exter­nal auditory canal. The fibrous annulus of the tympanic membrane is seated within its bony sulcus. The manubrium narrows as it extends downward. The incudostapedial articulation is seen. The bone that overlies the facial nerve pro­trudes toward the oval window niche, forming the pyramidal eminence which houses the stapedius tendon. The ten­don attaches to the head of the stapes. The saccule is seen at the anteromedial aspect of the perilymphatic cistern of the vestibule. The glial-Schwann sheath junctions of the cochlear and vestibular nerve trunks are seen in the internal auditory canal.
Figure 13
The manubrium and inferior tip of the long process of the incus are seen. The facial nerve continues its descent in its fallopian canal. The posterior semicircular canal remains visible. The utricle narrows as the nonampullated end of the lateral duct enters at the utricular crest. The saccular nerve trav­erses the cribrose area to the saccular macula. The carotid artery is sur­rounded by a connective tissue sheath in which the pericarotid venous plexus and pericarotid sympathetic nerve plexus are embedded. The sigmoid sul­cus is visible posteriorly.
Figure 11
The manubrium continues its descent separated from the pars tensa by a mucosal fold. The stapes is now evident in its characteristic stirrup form. The facial nerve descends in its mastoid segment. The protympanum extends anteriorly from the mesotympanum. The apical turn of the cochlea is visible as well as the heli­cotrema which marks the wide com­munication of the scala tympani and scala vestibuli. The nonampullated end of the membranous lateral semicircular duct enters the utricle.

Figure 14
The tympanic membrane is circum­ferentially fixed by the tympanic annulus to the walls of the tympanic sulcus. The singular canal carries the posterior ampullary nerve, a branch of the inferior division of the vestibular nerve, to the ampulla of the posterior canal. The vestibular aqueduct contain­ing the endolymphatic (otic) duct approaches the dura. Shielding its exit is a thin scale of bone, the operculum.
Figure 15
The umbo marks the approximate center of the tympanic membrane and corresponds to the end of the manubrium which at this level is completely enveloped by the pars propria of the tympanic membrane. The basal turn of the cochlea turns into the vestibule. The ductus reuniens links the cochlear duct and saccule. The singular canal is seen traveling toward the ampullated end of the posterior canal.
Figure 16
The internal auditory canal gradually recedes from view as does the middle turn of the cochlea. The bony wall of the basal turn forms the promontory on the medial wall of the middle ear.

Figure 18
The round window niche lies inferior to the promontory. The tympanic ostium of the cochlear aqueduct is situated at the posteromedial aspect of the basal turn of the cochlea. The subiculum is a ridge of bone that defines the inferior limit of the sinus tympani. The lumen of the bony posterior semicircular canal is seen with the ampullated and nonampullated ends of the membranous duct. Anteriorly lies the petrous apex containing, in this case, highly cellular marrow.
Figure 19
The pericarotid venous plexus is visible on both the anterior and posterior aspects of the internal carotid artery. The peritubal air cells comprise the lat­eral components of pneumatization of the petrous apex region.
Figure 17
The facial nerve continues its descent in the mastoid segment of the fallopian canal. Only the basal turn of the cochlea remains visible. The scala tym­pani of the basal turn lies adjacent to the round window membrane. The endolymphatic sac lies between two layers of dura in its foveate fossa, paralleling the posterior wall of the temporal bone.

Figure 20
The anatomic juxtaposition of the stapedius muscle and the facial nerve is evident. The bony posterior semicircular canal recedes from view. The cochlear aqueduct proceeds posteroinferiorly toward the subarachnoid space.

VERTICAL TWO-DIMENSIONAL SERIAL PHOTOGRAPHS
The following series of photomicrographs (Figs. 21–37) show the right tempo­ral bone of a 32-year-old female as it appears in vertical cross section, cut perpendicular to the long axis of the petrous bone. Vertical sections are smaller than horizontal sections but there are more of them. The trimmed specimen cut at 20 m generates about 800 sections and every 10th is stained and mounted on glass slides. In this case, two vertical sections can be mounted on each 1inch 3inch slide, resulting in a final series of about 40 such slides. Vertical sections are particularly useful for the study of pathologic conditions located in the most superior and inferior parts of the temporal bone.
The sections are arranged sequentially from posterolateral to antero­medial; approximately every 50th section has been selected for this series. The tegmen lies superiorly separating the mastoid and middle ear from the temporal lobe. The posterior cranial fossa is located posteriorly. The carotid canal and jugular vein are seen inferiorly, the external auditory canal later­ally, and the middle ear space medially. The inner ear structures begin with the canals, then the vestibule, and finally the cochlea.
Figure 21
The external auditory canal (EAC) is seen in cross section. The chorda tympani nerve heads anteriorly and laterally toward the tympanic cavity. The bony posterior canal is opened and its enclosed duct is seen. The break in the tegmen of the mastoid is an artifact of prepara­tion.

Figure 22
The facial nerve descends in its mastoid segment and the chorda tympani nerve approaches the iter chordae posterius. The short process of the incus is tethered in the incudal fossa by the posterior incudal ligament. The lateral canal is now evident; an extension through its long axis bisects the posterior canal. Cells of the supralabyrinthine area are visible posterosuperi­orly. Posteriorly, the endolymphatic sac is capped by the oper­culum. The retrofacial group of mastoid air cells is seen.
Figure 23
Progressing anteromedially, the tympanic membrane, tympanic sulcus, and fibrous annulus come into view. The stapedius mus­cle is inferior and posterior to the facial nerve.

Figure 24
The incus is now visible in the epitympanum. The chorda tympani nerve crosses the tympanic cavity suspended in a mucosal fold. The tympanic segment of the facial nerve lies inferior to the lateral canal.
Figure 25
The division of the tympanic membrane into a pars flaccida superiorly and a pars tensa inferiorly can be seen. The space superior to the lateral process of the malleus, medial to the pars flaccida, is Prussak’s recess. The incus articulates with the malleus in a cog wheel fashion.
CHAPTER 1: SERIAL PHOTOGRAPHS OF SECTIONS OF THE TEMPORAL BONE 17
Figure 26
The chorda tympani nerve now is closely applied to the medial aspect of the neck of the malleus. Extending laterally from the neck of the malleus is the lateral malleal ligament. The lenticu­lar process of the incus articulates with the head of the stapes. Within the perimeter of the superior semicircular canal one can see the petromastoid canal with its subarcuate vessels. The opening in the canal is an artifact.
Figure 27
The ampulla and crista of the superior canal are visible. Inferior to the oval window niche is the bulge of the promontory.

Figure 29
The facial nerve is located just superior to the tendon of the ten­sor tympani muscle. The utricle and saccule now come into view. The scala vestibuli opens into the vestibule. The peaked configuration at the posterior aspect of the scala tympani is the tympanic orifice of the cochlear aqueduct. The singular canal contains the posterior ampullary nerve.
Figure 28
Superior to the external auditory canal (EAC) is the petrotym­panic fissure. Lateral to the facial nerve, the tendon of the tensor tympani muscle lies in the concavity of the cochleariform process. The round window niche and membrance are emerging.

Figure 30
The external auditory canal dwindles. Running medially from the scala tympani is the cochlear aqueduct. There is extensive infralabyrinthine pneumatization.
Figure 31
The facial nerve is seen in its labyrinthine segment as well as at its genu.
