    Identifying the intradural endolymphatic sac is crucial for surgery. This study mapped its position relative to key anatomical landmarks in 50 temporal bones, finding it identifiable in most cases.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Neurosurgery
    • Anatomy

    Background:

    • Surgical access to the endolymphatic sac requires precise identification of its intradural component.
    • Understanding the anatomical relationships of the endolymphatic sac is critical for safe surgical procedures.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the anatomical position of the intradural endolymphatic sac.
    • To determine the relationship between the intradural endolymphatic sac and surrounding structures.

    Main Methods:

    • A retrospective analysis of 50 human temporal bones was performed.
    • The position of the intradural endolymphatic sac was studied in relation to the posterior semicircular canal, sigmoid sinus, retrofacial air cell tract, and jugular bulb.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • The intradural endolymphatic sac was identifiable in 48 out of 50 temporal bones (96%).
    • In two cases, the sac was absent or not surgically identifiable without risking damage to adjacent structures, notably the posterior semicircular canal.

    Conclusions:

    • The intradural endolymphatic sac is consistently identifiable in most temporal bones.
    • Knowledge of its precise anatomical location is essential for surgeons to avoid complications during endolymphatic sac surgery.
