...Beomcho Jun; Sunwha Song Introduction: Preoperative evaluation of cochlear morphology is important for successful cochlear implantation. This study analyzed the cochlear canal by three-dimensional reconstructions of temporal bones using computed tomography (CT). Methods: Fifty temporal bones from...

... of this otopathological study was to investigate the histopathology of the peripheral vestibular system of patients who suffered from undiagnosed dizziness. Methods: Eighteen temporal bone specimens from 9 patients with undiagnosed dizziness and 20 temporal bone specimens from age-matched 10 normal controls were selected...

... was conducted in 3 tertiary hospitals. The minimal distance between the PSC and the posterior cranial fossa (PSC thickness) was estimated by thin-section multidetector row computed axial tomography (CAT) scan of the temporal bones. Nonselected consecutive patients of all ages (607 temporal bones) were...

...Jennifer T. O'Malley; Barbara J. Burgess; Meng-Yu Zhu; Hugh D. Curtin; Joseph B. Nadol Jr. In our laboratory, human temporal bone specimens from patients who in life have undergone cochlear implantation are routinely processed with the implant in situ, embedded in Araldite, sectioned at 20 µm...

... the largest series of GCTs in the temporal bone and the lateral skull base. Materials and Methods: A retrospective study was conducted of all GCTs managed at the Gruppo Otologico, a quaternary referral skull base institute, in Italy from 1993 to 2013. The clinical features, investigations, surgical management...

... membrane with an active middle ear implant (AMEI). Materials and Methods: Ten temporal bones were prepared with combined atticotomy and facial recess approach to expose the RW. An AMEI stimulated the RW with 2 ball tip diameters (0.5 and 1.0 mm) before and after the resection of the bony rim of the RW...

..., instructions or products referred to in the content or advertisements. Cochlea Immunostaining Celloidin Temporal bone Knowledge of the pathologic basis of disease is central to the study of medicine including disorders affecting the auditory and vestibular systems. Otology is unique...

...Bernard Escudé; Chris James; Olivier Deguine; Nadine Cochard; Elias Eter; Bernard Fraysse Aims: To establish normative data on the size of the basal turn of the cochlea using high-resolution computed tomography of the temporal bone in adults and children. To determine whether final insertion depth...

... the insertion trajectory and the presence of trauma to intracochlear structures with the prototype electrode inserted by either the RWM or a scala tympani cochleostomy. Materials and Methods: Eighteen fresh frozen human temporal bones were prepared for cochlear implantation using a standard transmastoid facial...

... functions. In the second step, a prosthesis was implanted into a human temporal bone without inner ear. Exciting this system with noise, the velocity of the stapes footplate was measured with the laser Doppler vibrometer. Based on the multibody system approach, a mechanical computer model was generated...
