20 ANATOMY OF THE TEMPORAL BONE WITH SURGICAL IMPLICATIONS
Figure 33
The facial nerve and its geniculate ganglion lie beneath the dura of the middle cranial fossa. The facial, vestibular, and cochlear nerve trunks are seen in the internal auditory canal.
Figure 32
The middle and apical turns of the cochlea are emerging as the middle ear space narrows. The falciform crest and its relationship to the cochlear and facial nerves are seen, as well as the labyrinthine segment of the facial nerve.

Figure 34
The protympanum diminishes in size anteriorly. The lesser superficial petrosal nerve (LSPN) in its superior tympanic canaliculus lies just superior to the tensor tympani muscle. All three turns of the cochlea and the helicotrema are seen.
Figure 35
The tensor tympani muscle lies in its semicanal just medial to the osseous part of the eustachian tube.

Figure 37
The internal auditory canal opens to the posterior cranial fossa. The pericarotid and peritubal areas are well pneumatized.
Figure 36
Progressing anteromedially, only the anterior aspect of the basal turn of the cochlea remains.

HORIZONTAL THREE-DIMENSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHS OF CELLOIDIN-IMPREGNATED TEMPORAL BONES
The paired images appearing in Figures 38 to 51 are stereoscopic counter­parts of the accompanying, labeled photograph. The photograph is presented only to aid in identifying the anatomic structures featured in the stereo views. The stereo photographs were made with a Donaldson camera from celloidin blocks during the process of sectioning. They show the three­dimensional anatomy of the temporal bone in the horizontal plane. Figures 38 to 44 show a sequence of views from superior to inferior; Figures 45 to 51 show selected views of particular anatomic interest.
In order to appreciate the three-dimensional effect, it is important to concentrate on the paired images and have them fully occupy your field of vision. In addition, the plane of your eyes must remain parallel to the plane of the page. Then “defocus” your eyes and allow the images to fuse. Alternatively, looking “through” or “beyond” the images without focusing on them enables perception of the three-dimensional effect. We believe that these stereo views will facilitate the comprehension of ear anatomy in its three-dimensional aspect, and aid in understanding of the two-dimensional photographs in this book.

Figure 39
At a deeper level, we see the genu of the facial nerve. It is an important landmark in the middle cranial fossa approach to the internal auditory canal. The vertical crest (also known as “Bill’s bar”) separates the facial nerve anteriorly from the superior vestibular nerve posteriorly. The lateral and posterior canals are both visible. The lateral part of the internal auditory canal is narrower than the midportion, with the cochlea located anteriorly and the ampulla of the supe­rior canal located posteriorly. The short process of the incus is tethered to the walls of the incu­dal fossa by the posterior incudal ligament. (Comparable to Fig. 4 on p. 7.)
Figure 38
There is a large anterior epitympanic recess which opens into the mesotympanum inferiorly. The epitympanum narrows posteriorly to the aditus which in turn communicates with the mastoid air cell system. The crista is seen on the lateral wall of the ampulla of the superior canal (female, age 72 yr). (Comparable to Fig. 2 on p. 6.)

Figure 40
Prussak’s recess is seen lateral to the head and neck of the malleus. The incus articulates with the stapes by means of the lenticular process. The facial nerve is seen in its tympanic (horizontal) segment. The basal turn of the cochlea is exposed. The superior division of the vestibular nerve and its utricular branch are evident. The otoconial surface of the macula of the utricle faces medially and posteriorly. (Comparable to Fig. 5 on p. 7.)
Figure 41
The external auditory canal (EAC) is widely opened and lies in the same plane as the internal auditory canal. The posterior pouch of von Tröltsch occupies the interval between the posterior malleal fold and the tympanic membrane. The facial nerve is seen in the beginning of its mastoid (vertical) seg­ment. Normally, the anterior crus of the stapes is straight and the posterior crus is curved, as seen here. All three turns of the cochlea are seen. Note that the apex of the cochlea points laterally, anteri­orly, and inferiorly, and lies medial to the cochlear­iform process. The saccular branch of the inferior vestibular nerve passes to the cribrose area. The tensor tympani muscle and tendon are fully exposed. (Comparable to Fig. 11 on p. 9.)
26 ANATOMY OF THE TEMPORAL BONE WITH SURGICAL IMPLICATIONS
Figure 42
The conical shape of the pars tensa is evident. The stapedius tendon attaches to the head of the stapes. The promontory of the cochlea lies fully exposed. The posterior ampullary nerve traverses the singular canal on its way to the ampulla of the posterior canal. There is a small arachnoid cyst causing slight displacement but no atrophy of the cochlear nerve bundles in the internal auditory canal. (Comparable to Fig. 14 on p. 10.)
Figure 43
The manubrium of the malleus is visible in the region of the umbo. The protympanum and hypo­tympanum are seen. The facial recess lies lateral and the sinus tympani lies medial to the facial nerve. The hook portion of the cochlea is located near the ampulla of the posterior canal. Note the crista of the posterior canal. (Comparable to Fig. 15 on p. 11.)
CHAPTER 1: SERIAL PHOTOGRAPHS OF SECTIONS OF THE TEMPORAL BONE 27
Figure 44
The basal turn of the cochlea and round window are seen. The protympanum leads to the tym­panic orifice of the bony part of the eustachian tube. (Comparable to Fig. 19 on p. 12.)
Figure 45
There is extensive pneumatization of the tempo­ral bone. The posterosuperior cell tract leads to the pneumatized petrous apex. The subarcuate tract passes through the arch of the superior canal, also leading to the petrous apex. Note that the semicircular duct hugs the outer wall of the bony canal (female, age 67yr).

Figure 46
This view shows Koerner’s (petrosquamosal) septum which marks the junction of the lateral or squamous part and the medial or petrous part of the mastoid. The crista of the lateral canal and the ampullated end of the superior canal are visualized (male, age 67yr).
Figure 47
The anterior inferior cerebellar artery loops deeply into the internal auditory canal. The facial nerve is seen in the internal auditory canal and in its tympanic segment. The superior division of the vestibular nerve and its utricular branch, as well as the utricular macula are seen (male, age 87yr).
CHAPTER 1: SERIAL PHOTOGRAPHS OF SECTIONS OF THE TEMPORAL BONE 29
Figure 48
The cochlear nerve and the inferior division of the vestibular nerve with its two branches, the posterior ampullary and saccular nerves, are seen. The inferior utricular crest marks the boundary between the nonampullated end of the lateral semicircular duct and the utricle. The modiolus, osseous spiral lamina, limbus, organ of Corti, and spiral ligament can be seen. The saccule narrows inferiorly to the ductus reuniens (female, age 68yr).
Figure 49
This is the right ear of a 62-yr-old man who underwent stapedectomy for otosclerosis 2yr before death. A gelfoam-wire prosthesis was implanted and attached to the incus. Hearing was improved. The prosthesis is partially enveloped in fibrous tissue. The ductus reuniens is seen passing from the saccule to the cochlear duct.
