For over a century, researchers have assumed that the plane of the lateral semicircular
canal of the inner ear lies parallel to the horizon when the head is at rest, and used this …

OBJECTIVE There is no definitive or consensus classification system for the jugular bulb
position that can be uniformly communicated between a radiologist, neurootologist, and …

The orientation of the semicircular canals of the inner ear in the skull of vertebrates is one of
the determinants of the capacity of this system to detect a given rotational movement of the …

The vestibular system of the mammalian inner ear senses angular and linear velocity of the
head and enables animals to maintain their balance. Vestibular anatomy has been studied …

Located deep in the temporal bone, the semicircular canal is a subtle structure that requires
a spatial coordinate system for measurement and observation. In this study, 55 semicircular …

Objective To study age-related changes in the morphology of the supratubal recess (STR)
and its relationship with the Eustachian tube (ET). Methods Seventy randomly selected …

Background Eustachian tube dysfunction (ETD) is the predominant cause of otitis media with
effusion in children and adults. Balloon dilatation of the Eustachian tube (BDET) provides a …

Objectives Our aims were to measure and compare anatomical parameters of the ossicles in
normal, congenital aural stenosis (CAS), and congenital aural atresia (CAA) ears. Methods …

Background: Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is characterized by brief, intense
episodes of vertigo triggered by abrupt changes in head position. It is generally accepted as …

Objectives: To develop and evaluate a new coordinate system for MRI of the vestibular
system. Methods: In this study, 53 internal auditory canal MRI and 78 temporal bone CT …
