OW = oval window ; RW = round window ; H = Helicotrema
OW & RW & H forms 90 degree
triangle
Centre of OW roughtly
corresponds to groove for tensor
tympani
Below RW devided into 4 quadrants
In difficult conditions where finding RW is difficult try
to identify FUSTIS , it leads to RW
In “ RW insertion ” technique , RW membrane is incised [ red
mark ] at anterior inferior quadrant of RW membrane after
drilling RW operculum – which leads to scala tympani
MC = Margin Cochleostomy ;
Cf = Crista fenestrae ; OSL =
Osseus spiral laminae ; OW =
Owter wall of basal turn
MARGIN
COCHLEOSTOMY – in
some patients Crista
Fenestrae has to be
drilled to expand
round window to
access scala tympani
ANTERO- INFERIOR COCHLEOSTOMY . When we devide round
window into 4 quadrants , at anterior & inferior quadrant area if
we make cochleostomy it becomes anterior-inferior
cochleostomy
The round inferior to Antero-inferior cochleostomy is
INFERIOR COCHLEOSTOMY , which is direct trajectory
to scala tympani
cochleostomy made anterior to anterior & superior quadrant
of RW is called SUPERIOR COCHLEOSTOMY – Which you are
NOT supposed to do in CI surgery
If we drill between OW & RW it is
SCALA VESTIBULAR COCHLEOSTOMY
If we drill 2 mm anterior to OW it is MIDDLE TURN COCHLEOSTOMY- Don’t
drill more than 2 mm anteior to OW because there are chances of injuring
the labyrinthine part of facial nerve in DANGEROUS TRIANGLE or PARISIER’S
TRIANGLE .
Relation of middle
turn cochleostomy
in relation to
dangerous triangle
– explained
further indetail
Osseus spiral laminae is seen through SUPERIOR COCHLEOSTOMY . The space
above osseus spiral laminae is SCALA VESTIBULI & space below osseus spiral
laminae is SCALA TYMPANI
SV insertion of CI electrode in basal turn stimulates SG of middle
turn instead of SG of basal turn
Osseus spiral laminae is seen through SCALA VESTIBULAR
COCHLEOSTOMY with angulation of microscope
hole at root of GSPN is SUPERIOR
TURN COCHLEOSTOMY
1. In middle cranial fossa approach – hole at root of GSPN leads to SUPERIOR TURN
COCHLEOSTOMY
2. In middle ear appraoch - In the groove of Tensor Tympani also leads to SUPERIOR TURN
COCHLEOSTOMY
BOTH HOLES lie exactly at same level
AIC = antero-inferior cochleosomy IC = inferior cochleostomy SC
= superior cochleosomy SVC = scala vestibular cochleosomy
MTC = middle turn cochleostomy STC = superior turn
cochleostomy FN = facial nerve IAC = internal auditory canal
SV ( Scala Vestibular ) Drilling has to be done in the same arch of ST ( Scala
Tympani ) drilling & Middle turn drilling has to be done in the same arch of SV
drilling – while drillouts we should not injure the OSL ( Osseus spiral laminae )
because neurons will damage

Carotid relation to cochlea

1. Supeior cochleostomy at root of
GSPN from middle cranial fossa
side & Superior cochleostomy in
the groove for tensor tympani
from middle ear – both reaches to
almost superior turn
2. Pars ascendens associated with
vertical part of intratemporal
carotid where as Pars superior
corresponds with labyrinthine
part of facial nerve .
3. In literature it is not mentioned
about where exactly the middle
turn starts & basal turn ends –
What I am understanding is if we
draw a line from midpoint of
stapes foot plate to groove for
tensor tympani ( Green line ) , the
turn above is ending of basal turn
, the turn below is starting of
middle turn .
Junction of pars superior & pars
inferior is labyrinthine part of facial
nerve
Pars ascendens associated with Pre-cochlear carotid [ vertical
part of intra-temporal carotid ]
Pars = Part
Just outside the outer wall of basal turn vertical part of intratemporal carotid present OR in
other wards scala tympani is adjacent to vertical part of intratemporal carotid - so when
carotid canal is dehiscent OR maltracked cochleostomy , there are chances of entering the CI
electrode array into carotid canal . ST= Scala tympani ; SV = Scala vestibuli ; OSL = osseus spiral
laminae ; OW = outer wall of basal turn

1. Angle between
SSC & GSPN is IAC
1. Angle between
labyrinthine part
of facial nerve &
GSPN is COCHLEA (
Pars superior of
basal turn )
In ST (scala tympani) drill outs we have to be very careful -
vertical part of intratemporal carotid is just outside the outerwall
of basal turn or scala tympani
Grades of ossification
Schematic presentation of Grade I (IA)
ossification: only the area of the round
window is affected.
Grade I (IB) ossification: up to half of the
scala tympani of the basal turn is affected.
Grade II: more than half up to whole of the
scala tympani of the basal turn is affected.
Grade II: the scala tympani of the basal
turn is completely ossified; the scala
vestibuli is less than half ossified, also
grade II.
Grade III: both the scala tympani and scala vestibuli of the basal
turn are ossified, while the middle and apical turns are patent. This can occur
with the ascending part of the basal turn being accessible (IIIA) or inaccessible
(IIIB)
Grade IV: totally ossified cochlea.
PARISIER'S TRIANGLE
(DANGEROUS TRIANGLE)
Perisier's triangle is very important triangle in cochlear implant surgery
1) Superior limb is formed by inferior part of HFN
2) The apex is formed by the geniculate ganglion
3) The base is formed by the anterior commissure (end) of oval window
4) Inferior limb is formed by tunning point of jocobson's nerve to the the
geniculate ganglion.
Perisier's triangle is very important triangle in cochlear impalnt surgery

2) The apex is formed by the geniculate ganglion
3) The base is formed by the anterior commissure (end) of oval window
4) Inferior limb is formed by tunning point of jocobson's nerve to the the geniculate

Wall of Parisier’s triangle is by “ wall of middle turn cochlea ” & cavity
is by “ cavity of middle turn ” - & labyrinthine part of facial nerve stays
above the middle turn cochlea which may be stimulated by CI
electrode array causing facial twichings .
Relation of middle turn

Diagrammatic representation of
the intracochlear electrode
array (red) and the division of the
cochlea into five segments.
The beginning of
segment 1 corresponded
to the RW membrane,
while that of segments 2
and 4 indicated the
surface where the
modiolus was no longer
visualized. In the latter
two segments, the
electrode could be
visualized in the
transverse orientation.
So it is the 3rd part of the electrode/cochlea which is causing facial twistings . So in
Programming we have to stop that electrode . Facial twistings commonly affects in
pathological & abnormal cochleas like Otosclerosis & common cavity respectively . How it
effects AVT [ Audio-verbal therapy ] I will explain in next slides .
• The surgical implications are
1) This triangle contains labyrinthine part of FN.
2) During transotic or transcochlear approaches surgeon should respect this triangle and drill carefully
to avoid injury to FN.
3) Clinically labyrinthine part consists of two segments a meatal segment of nerve, labyrinthine part of
nerve. total length of this nerve is 3 to 5 mm. Anteriorly we can see these parts clearly through this
triangle.
4) 1st part of FN passes close to lower border of precochlear HFN towards anterior end of oval window
in this triangle.
5) Irregular drilling of cochlea in this triangle damages FN That is why it is called DANGERS TRIANGLE.
6) During trans meatal endoscopic dissection of IAC, this triangle important for identification of nerves
7) Translabyrinthine approach visualises posterior surface of 1st part of FN, in transcochlear approaches
the anterior surface of the nerve is exposed. In transottic approaches 270 to 320 degrees of 1 st part of
FN is exposed.
8)Observe closely the labyrinthine part of FN there is a constriction of labyrinthine segment and meatal
segment.
Facial nerve key points
1) Facial nerve changes direction 5 times during its course from brain stem to styloid foramen.
2) No other nerve in body covers such a long distance in bony canal
3) facial nerve contains 10000 axons that are responsible for the innervation of the face musculature
and also for the communications with other nerves human body
4) work with injured facial nerve requires lot of patience.

1. Structures outside the niche
which hide its entrance
Exostosis = The most frequent
variation is exostosis near the entrance
of the niche
jugular dome = A less frequent but clinically very
important variation, the jugular dome can partially or even fully
hide the round window niche
The thin bone separating the roof of the JF from the RW (<1 mm in 8%) highlights a
potential risk of injury to the JB during cochleostomy placement.
trabeculae niche is protected by
trabecules of varying sizes
2. Round window niche
Variations & Grading
Narrow Niche = When all the walls are thick, the niche
becomes very narrow.
Its surroundings show without exception a ‘cellfree’, compact bony surface
without a fustis
Descending tegmen = The tegmen of the niche
may stretch to varying degrees which results in a V-
shaped transformation of the niche’s form
Anterior septum = The most frequent variation of the round
window entrance is the lamellar growth of the postis anterior which covers the
majority of the opening of the round window. The shape of the postis anterior
shows a wide variability from a continuous plate to the trabecular form
Bony membrance = In the rarest
variation the pseudomembrane is partially or completely ossified
in the round window’s entrance and forms a thin bony plate
Open fudus = Lack of ossification lateral to the fustis
results in the absence of bony tissue between the fustis and the
anterior wall which occurs when the inferior wall remains
incomplete

FUSTIS
•
it is fustis a solid bony column connecting the retrotympanum to round
window niche. So far this structure is neglected Microscopically it may
not be clearly visible, but endoscopically it is seen clearly The surgical
implications of this structure are
1) its origin is pylogenically different from other parts of that area
hence it behaves differently
2) It contains enzymes which are resistant to cholesteatoma
destruction
3) it prevents sinus cholesteatoma extending downwards..
4) This structure is directed towards round window, in narrow round
window niche by following its upper border, we can identify the round
window membrane
5) It divides upper part of subtympanic sinus, concomerata into
medialis and lateralis. C medialis is site for posterior ampullary nerve
section.
6) Fustis regulates smooth out flow of sound waves from round
window membrane.
• 7) It helps in creation of pressure difference between round and oval windows
encourages acoustic coupling.
8) It gives support round window niche because both postis anticus and postis
posticus contains cochlea and subcochlear portion that are hollow structures.
9) This structure modulates according to round window niche i. e, "V" shaped,
square shaped, triangular gothic shaped, like that, to have a relation with RW
10) In absent sibiculum, the fustis gives support.
11) Fustis narrows the round window niche there by protects the round window
membrane (rupture)normally.
12) embryologically fustis develops between periosteal layer of the labyrinthine
capsule and the thin smooth plate of Pavementum Pyramidalis and it is
ontogenically important structure.
So surgeons, fustis is very important structure at outflow gate of sound in middle
ear.
In 1968 Bruce Proctor mentioned, Recently prof Presutti, Prof Marchioni and Prof
Joao F Nogueira described this part.
so surgeons please look this important but poor part while performing surgeries
because it is present in all middle ears..

SCC = Subcochlear Canal
CI surgeons mistakenly pass CI electrode array
into this SCC . Previously they used to call
this SCC as “ Hypotympanic cell ” in older
literature . Now with the advant of
Endoscopy SCC is clearly defined which leads
to petrous apex
(Right ears) a–d in these subjects a deep (Type A) “subcochlear canaliculus” is
found between the fustis bone and the finiculus and has different dimensions

tunnel of subcochlear canaliculus, ac area concamerata, f finiculus, su
subiculum, fu fustis, su subiculum, sty styloid complex
(Right ears) Three types of conformations of the round window chamber related to the relationship
between the fustis, area concamerata and the finiculus bone.
Type A between the fustis and the finiculus a deep hole/tunnel is present with deep extension to the
petrous apex cells lying below the cochlea; in these cases a CT scan in a sagittal view shows the
presence of a well pneumatized temporal bone at the most inferior and medial portion of the petrous
apex below the internal auditory canal.
pp posterior pillar, ap anterior pillar, rw round window, red arrow tunnel of subcochlear canaliculus, ac
area concamerata, f finiculus, su subiculum, fu fustis, su subiculum, sty stylod complex
Type B between the fustis and the finiculus a small hole is present, the connection
between this hole and the apex is not recognizable endoscopically because of the
dimensions of this area; in these cases a CT scan in a sagittal view shows the presence of
a limited pneumatized bone below the cochlea.
pp posterior pillar, ap anterior pillar, rw round window, red arrow tunnel of subcochlear
canaliculus, ac area concamerata, f finiculus, su subiculum, fu fustis, su subiculum, sty

Type C the fustis and area concamerata are fused with the finiculus and anterior pillar
without any connection between the round window chamber and the petrous apex, in
these cases no air cells are present at the most inferior and medial portion of the petrous
apex on the CT scan in a sagittal view

• The crista fenestrae forms the anteroinferior sharp bony margin of
the round window. This margin of the round window lies closer to the
modiolus and the osseous spiral lamina than the outer wall of the scala
tympani in the basal turn of the cochlea. When the crista fenestrae is left
in place only the medial portion of the scala tympani gives room for the
electrode insertion. The narrow space between the crista fenestrae and
the modiolus can cause friction, and the electrode cannot be led
tangentially along the outer wall of the basal turn right from the start . A
good view along the basal turn of the cochlea is achieved when the
antero-inferior overhang and the crista fenestrae are removed. Only after
the removal of the crista fenestrae can the whole width of the scala
tympani in the basal turn be seen and this gives enough space for the
electrode insertion. It is important to preserve the osseous spiral lamina
anatomically and thus prevent a reduction of the nerve fibre population.
When attention is paid to the above particular features of the round
window at surgery, damage to the osseous spiral lamina should not occur,
and a deep electrode insertion will be possible.
A post-mortem view of the hook region of the osseous spiral lamina (osl) in a cat cochlea as
seen through the round window. For the purposes of this figure, the round window membrane
and all the perilymph has been removed. The basilar membrane is visible as the medium gray
crescent (black arrows) below the margin of the round window. The extreme basal end of the
cochlear spiral is toward the right. The scala tympani spirals counterclockwise and away into the
basal turn at the bottom left of the round window. The modiolus (large asterisk) is toward the
bottom. The white arrow indicates a 1-mm spiral ganglion lesion. The lesion is visible due to
extravasated blood in Rosenthal's canal, which can be seen as a light gray crescent (small
asterisk) in the osseous spiral lamina.

The right round window in a human temporal bone as seen from an endaural
approach demonstrating the close relationship between the osseous spiral
lamina and the posterior portion of the round window membrane. For better
demonstration the postero-superior and the antero-inferior overhang have
been removed, bm: basiliar membrane; spl: spiral lamina; set: scala tympani;
rwm: found window membrane, cf: crista fenestrae.
Human temporal bone specimen drilled to simulate the typical trans-
mastoid, trans-facial recess approach to the inner ear. The buttress has
been taken down and the incus removed. The view shows the authors’
preferred cochleostomy site, just inferior to and extending into the RW.
This allows visual control of the basal turn prior to implantation.

Development of the bony round
window niche from the 16th fetal
week (A) to newborn (F). The first
ossification centers of the otic capsule
appear around the round window, but
the inferior wall of the niche does not
begin to ossify until the 17th fetal
week (B). The first sign of the crest of
round window can be seen in the 18th
week (C) and it develops rapidly up to
the 23rd week (D). The walls of the
niche show intensive growth during
the entire prenatal period but its
typical appearance is not complete
until the eighth fetal month (E). f –

PARS [ = Parts ] of cochlea & HRCT
temporal bone – histological study
Diagrammatic representation of
the intracochlear electrode
array (red) and the division of the
cochlea into five segments.
The beginning of
segment 1 corresponded
to the RW membrane,
while that of segments 2
and 4 indicated the
surface where the
modiolus was no longer
visualized. In the latter
two segments, the
electrode could be
visualized in the
transverse orientation.
So it is the 3rd part ( pars superior ) of the electrode/cochlea which is causing facial twistings
. So in Programming we have to stop that electrode . Facial twistings commonly affects in
pathological & abnormal cochleas like Otosclerosis & common cavity respectively . How it
effects AVT [ Audio-verbal therapy ] I will explain in next slides .
(a) Identification of segments 1 and 4. The modiolus is
located deeper than the bone surface..
(b) Identification of segments 1, 3, and 5. The
modiolus is now visible on the surface of the bone.
This defines the beginning of segments 3 and 5.
(c) Visualization of segments 1 and 3 and the
modiolus.
(d) Visualization of the beginning of segment 2. The
modiolus can no longer be visualized.
In the lap of basal turn middle turn present & in lap of middle turn superior turn present .
So in both cranial most & caudal most axial cuts of HRCT Temporal bone you will see basal turn
only .
Don't confuse that in cranial most axial of HRCT you will see superior turn

the spiral ligament (SL) facing scala tympani (ST).
The curved arrow indicates a venule coursing
through the spiral ligament toward the floor of
scala tympani. The straight arrow indicates the
portion of the spiral ligament seen in B. The
ligament and its vasculature are vulnerable to
trauma by electrode arrays positioned against
the lateral wall of scala tympani. Scale bar = 100
microns.
B. Scanning electron micrograph
of the surface of the spiral ligament in the area
immediately below the attachment of the basilar
membrane. The site of attachment of the
basilar membrane to the lateral wall tissues is
indicated by the dotted line. Note the highly
porous, meshlike structure of the spiral ligament
surface, which is susceptible to electrode array
penetration and injury. Scale bar = 20 microns.

  • 5. OW = oval window ; RW = round window ; H = Helicotrema OW & RW & H forms 90 degree triangle Centre of OW roughtly corresponds to groove for tensor tympani
  • 6. Below RW devided into 4 quadrants
  • 7. In difficult conditions where finding RW is difficult try to identify FUSTIS , it leads to RW
  • 8. In “ RW insertion ” technique , RW membrane is incised [ red mark ] at anterior inferior quadrant of RW membrane after drilling RW operculum – which leads to scala tympani
  • 9. MC = Margin Cochleostomy ; Cf = Crista fenestrae ; OSL = Osseus spiral laminae ; OW = Owter wall of basal turn MARGIN COCHLEOSTOMY – in some patients Crista Fenestrae has to be drilled to expand round window to access scala tympani
  • 10. ANTERO- INFERIOR COCHLEOSTOMY . When we devide round window into 4 quadrants , at anterior & inferior quadrant area if we make cochleostomy it becomes anterior-inferior cochleostomy
  • 11. The round inferior to Antero-inferior cochleostomy is INFERIOR COCHLEOSTOMY , which is direct trajectory to scala tympani
  • 12. cochleostomy made anterior to anterior & superior quadrant of RW is called SUPERIOR COCHLEOSTOMY – Which you are NOT supposed to do in CI surgery
  • 13. If we drill between OW & RW it is SCALA VESTIBULAR COCHLEOSTOMY
  • 14. If we drill 2 mm anterior to OW it is MIDDLE TURN COCHLEOSTOMY- Don’t drill more than 2 mm anteior to OW because there are chances of injuring the labyrinthine part of facial nerve in DANGEROUS TRIANGLE or PARISIER’S TRIANGLE .
  • 15. Relation of middle turn cochleostomy in relation to dangerous triangle – explained further indetail
  • 16. Osseus spiral laminae is seen through SUPERIOR COCHLEOSTOMY . The space above osseus spiral laminae is SCALA VESTIBULI & space below osseus spiral laminae is SCALA TYMPANI
  • 17. SV insertion of CI electrode in basal turn stimulates SG of middle turn instead of SG of basal turn
  • 18. Osseus spiral laminae is seen through SCALA VESTIBULAR COCHLEOSTOMY with angulation of microscope
  • 19. hole at root of GSPN is SUPERIOR TURN COCHLEOSTOMY
  • 20. 1. In middle cranial fossa approach – hole at root of GSPN leads to SUPERIOR TURN COCHLEOSTOMY 2. In middle ear appraoch - In the groove of Tensor Tympani also leads to SUPERIOR TURN COCHLEOSTOMY BOTH HOLES lie exactly at same level
  • 21. AIC = antero-inferior cochleosomy IC = inferior cochleostomy SC = superior cochleosomy SVC = scala vestibular cochleosomy MTC = middle turn cochleostomy STC = superior turn cochleostomy FN = facial nerve IAC = internal auditory canal
  • 22. SV ( Scala Vestibular ) Drilling has to be done in the same arch of ST ( Scala Tympani ) drilling & Middle turn drilling has to be done in the same arch of SV drilling – while drillouts we should not injure the OSL ( Osseus spiral laminae ) because neurons will damage
  • 24. I will explain in future PPTs
  • 29. Intratemporal Carotid & facial nerve – same parts – both have vertical & horizontal parts Vertical part of facial nerve bisects jugular bulb GSPN bisects V3 & petrous carotid
  • 30. Infratemporal fossa anatomy line diagram in both anterior & lateral skull base ( Infratemporal fossa approach A, B, C , D )
  • 31. PARS ( = PARTS ) of Cochlea
  • 32. PARS ( = PARTS ) of Cochlea & Duodenum 1= pars inferior 2= pars ascendens 3 = pars superior 4 = pars inferior
  • 33. 1. Supeior cochleostomy at root of GSPN from middle cranial fossa side & Superior cochleostomy in the groove for tensor tympani from middle ear – both reaches to almost superior turn 2. Pars ascendens associated with vertical part of intratemporal carotid where as Pars superior corresponds with labyrinthine part of facial nerve . 3. In literature it is not mentioned about where exactly the middle turn starts & basal turn ends – What I am understanding is if we draw a line from midpoint of stapes foot plate to groove for tensor tympani ( Green line ) , the turn above is ending of basal turn , the turn below is starting of middle turn .
  • 34. Junction of pars superior & pars inferior is labyrinthine part of facial nerve
  • 35. Pars ascendens associated with Pre-cochlear carotid [ vertical part of intra-temporal carotid ] Pars = Part
  • 36. Just outside the outer wall of basal turn vertical part of intratemporal carotid present OR in other wards scala tympani is adjacent to vertical part of intratemporal carotid - so when carotid canal is dehiscent OR maltracked cochleostomy , there are chances of entering the CI electrode array into carotid canal . ST= Scala tympani ; SV = Scala vestibuli ; OSL = osseus spiral laminae ; OW = outer wall of basal turn
  • 39. Middle cranial fossa drilling of cochlear turns Pars superior is seen through middle cranial fossa 1. Angle between SSC & GSPN is IAC 1. Angle between labyrinthine part of facial nerve & GSPN is COCHLEA ( Pars superior of basal turn )
  • 40. In ST (scala tympani) drill outs we have to be very careful - vertical part of intratemporal carotid is just outside the outerwall of basal turn or scala tympani
  • 42. Schematic presentation of Grade I (IA) ossification: only the area of the round window is affected. Grade I (IB) ossification: up to half of the scala tympani of the basal turn is affected.
  • 43. Grade II: more than half up to whole of the scala tympani of the basal turn is affected. Grade II: the scala tympani of the basal turn is completely ossified; the scala vestibuli is less than half ossified, also grade II.
  • 44. Grade III: both the scala tympani and scala vestibuli of the basal turn are ossified, while the middle and apical turns are patent. This can occur with the ascending part of the basal turn being accessible (IIIA) or inaccessible (IIIB)
  • 45. Grade IV: totally ossified cochlea.
  • 46. PARISIER'S TRIANGLE (DANGEROUS TRIANGLE) Perisier's triangle is very important triangle in cochlear implant surgery 1) Superior limb is formed by inferior part of HFN 2) The apex is formed by the geniculate ganglion 3) The base is formed by the anterior commissure (end) of oval window 4) Inferior limb is formed by tunning point of jocobson's nerve to the the geniculate ganglion.
  • 47. Perisier's triangle is very important triangle in cochlear impalnt surgery 1) Superior limb is formed by inferior part of HFN 2) The apex is formed by the geniculate ganglion 3) The base is formed by the anterior commissure (end) of oval window 4) Inferior limb is formed by tunning point of jocobson's nerve to the the geniculate ganglion.
  • 48. Wall of Parisier’s triangle is by “ wall of middle turn cochlea ” & cavity is by “ cavity of middle turn ” - & labyrinthine part of facial nerve stays above the middle turn cochlea which may be stimulated by CI electrode array causing facial twichings .
  • 49. Relation of middle turn cochleostomy in relation to dangerous triangle
  • 50. PARS ( = PARTS ) of Cochlea & Duodenum 1= pars inferior 2= pars ascendens 3 = pars superior 4 = pars inferior
  • 51. Diagrammatic representation of the intracochlear electrode array (red) and the division of the cochlea into five segments. The beginning of segment 1 corresponded to the RW membrane, while that of segments 2 and 4 indicated the surface where the modiolus was no longer visualized. In the latter two segments, the electrode could be visualized in the transverse orientation.
  • 52. So it is the 3rd part of the electrode/cochlea which is causing facial twistings . So in Programming we have to stop that electrode . Facial twistings commonly affects in pathological & abnormal cochleas like Otosclerosis & common cavity respectively . How it effects AVT [ Audio-verbal therapy ] I will explain in next slides .
  • 53. • The surgical implications are 1) This triangle contains labyrinthine part of FN. 2) During transotic or transcochlear approaches surgeon should respect this triangle and drill carefully to avoid injury to FN. 3) Clinically labyrinthine part consists of two segments a meatal segment of nerve, labyrinthine part of nerve. total length of this nerve is 3 to 5 mm. Anteriorly we can see these parts clearly through this triangle. 4) 1st part of FN passes close to lower border of precochlear HFN towards anterior end of oval window in this triangle. 5) Irregular drilling of cochlea in this triangle damages FN That is why it is called DANGERS TRIANGLE. 6) During trans meatal endoscopic dissection of IAC, this triangle important for identification of nerves 7) Translabyrinthine approach visualises posterior surface of 1st part of FN, in transcochlear approaches the anterior surface of the nerve is exposed. In transottic approaches 270 to 320 degrees of 1 st part of FN is exposed. 8)Observe closely the labyrinthine part of FN there is a constriction of labyrinthine segment and meatal segment. Facial nerve key points 1) Facial nerve changes direction 5 times during its course from brain stem to styloid foramen. 2) No other nerve in body covers such a long distance in bony canal 3) facial nerve contains 10000 axons that are responsible for the innervation of the face musculature and also for the communications with other nerves human body 4) work with injured facial nerve requires lot of patience.

  • 70. Exostosis = The most frequent variation is exostosis near the entrance of the niche
  • 71. jugular dome = A less frequent but clinically very important variation, the jugular dome can partially or even fully hide the round window niche
  • 72. The thin bone separating the roof of the JF from the RW (<1 mm in 8%) highlights a potential risk of injury to the JB during cochleostomy placement.
  • 73. trabeculae niche is protected by trabecules of varying sizes
  • 74. 2. Round window niche Variations & Grading
  • 75. Narrow Niche = When all the walls are thick, the niche becomes very narrow. Its surroundings show without exception a ‘cellfree’, compact bony surface without a fustis
  • 76. Descending tegmen = The tegmen of the niche may stretch to varying degrees which results in a V- shaped transformation of the niche’s form
  • 77. Anterior septum = The most frequent variation of the round window entrance is the lamellar growth of the postis anterior which covers the majority of the opening of the round window. The shape of the postis anterior shows a wide variability from a continuous plate to the trabecular form
  • 78. Bony membrance = In the rarest variation the pseudomembrane is partially or completely ossified in the round window’s entrance and forms a thin bony plate
  • 79. Open fudus = Lack of ossification lateral to the fustis results in the absence of bony tissue between the fustis and the anterior wall which occurs when the inferior wall remains incomplete

  • 89. Type B fustis. f fustis, sp styloid proeminence, st scala tympani, rw round window
  • 90. FUSTIS • it is fustis a solid bony column connecting the retrotympanum to round window niche. So far this structure is neglected Microscopically it may not be clearly visible, but endoscopically it is seen clearly The surgical implications of this structure are 1) its origin is pylogenically different from other parts of that area hence it behaves differently 2) It contains enzymes which are resistant to cholesteatoma destruction 3) it prevents sinus cholesteatoma extending downwards.. 4) This structure is directed towards round window, in narrow round window niche by following its upper border, we can identify the round window membrane 5) It divides upper part of subtympanic sinus, concomerata into medialis and lateralis. C medialis is site for posterior ampullary nerve section. 6) Fustis regulates smooth out flow of sound waves from round window membrane.
  • 91. • 7) It helps in creation of pressure difference between round and oval windows encourages acoustic coupling. 8) It gives support round window niche because both postis anticus and postis posticus contains cochlea and subcochlear portion that are hollow structures. 9) This structure modulates according to round window niche i. e, "V" shaped, square shaped, triangular gothic shaped, like that, to have a relation with RW 10) In absent sibiculum, the fustis gives support. 11) Fustis narrows the round window niche there by protects the round window membrane (rupture)normally. 12) embryologically fustis develops between periosteal layer of the labyrinthine capsule and the thin smooth plate of Pavementum Pyramidalis and it is ontogenically important structure. So surgeons, fustis is very important structure at outflow gate of sound in middle ear. In 1968 Bruce Proctor mentioned, Recently prof Presutti, Prof Marchioni and Prof Joao F Nogueira described this part. so surgeons please look this important but poor part while performing surgeries because it is present in all middle ears..

  • 153. • The crista fenestrae forms the anteroinferior sharp bony margin of the round window. This margin of the round window lies closer to the modiolus and the osseous spiral lamina than the outer wall of the scala tympani in the basal turn of the cochlea. When the crista fenestrae is left in place only the medial portion of the scala tympani gives room for the electrode insertion. The narrow space between the crista fenestrae and the modiolus can cause friction, and the electrode cannot be led tangentially along the outer wall of the basal turn right from the start . A good view along the basal turn of the cochlea is achieved when the antero-inferior overhang and the crista fenestrae are removed. Only after the removal of the crista fenestrae can the whole width of the scala tympani in the basal turn be seen and this gives enough space for the electrode insertion. It is important to preserve the osseous spiral lamina anatomically and thus prevent a reduction of the nerve fibre population. When attention is paid to the above particular features of the round window at surgery, damage to the osseous spiral lamina should not occur, and a deep electrode insertion will be possible.

The scala tympani spirals counterclockwise and away into the basal turn at the bottom left of the round window. The modiolus (large asterisk) is toward the bottom. The white arrow indicates a 1-mm spiral ganglion lesion. The lesion is visible due to extravasated blood in Rosenthal's canal, which can be seen as a light gray crescent (small asterisk) in the osseous spiral lamina.
