This study precisely mapped the round window and surrounding structures using temporal bone transections and CT scans. These findings provide crucial anatomical evidence for diagnosing and surgically treating ear diseases.

Area of Science:

Anatomy
Radiology
Otolaryngology

Background:

Accurate anatomical knowledge of the temporal bone is essential for diagnosing and treating middle ear pathologies.
The round window and its niche are critical structures for surgical access and auditory function.

Purpose of the Study:

To precisely locate the round window area and related structures in temporal bone cross-sections and CT scans.
To provide anatomical evidence for improved image diagnosis and clinical operations involving the auris.

Main Methods:

High-resolution computed tomography (CT) was performed on fifteen normal head specimens.
Sequential temporal bone transections (1.00 mm thick) were created and analyzed.
Anatomical structures, including the round window and niche, were identified and compared between CT images and physical specimens.

Main Results:

The round window and niche were consistently identified on specific CT layers (10th on the right, 11th on the left).
Measurements of the anterior wall depth and distance to the jugular fossa wall were recorded, showing no significant differences between sides.
Temporal bone transections provided clear visualization of the round window's anatomical position relative to adjacent structures.

Conclusions:

Temporal bone transections offer a clear depiction of the round window area and its anatomical relationships.
The study's findings enhance anatomical understanding for image diagnosis and surgical interventions in auris diseases.
