PURPOSE Our purpose was to investigate the topographical relationship of the facial and
vestibulocochlear nerves from the brain stem through the internal auditory canal. METHODS …

PURPOSE To define the anatomy of the facial and vestibulocochlear nerves in the internal
auditory canal on parasagittal CT scans of cadaveric specimens and to compare this …

The vestibular, cochlear and facial nerves have a common course in the internal auditory
canal (IAC). In this study we investigated the average number of nerve fibres, the average …

The facial and vestibulocochlear nerves emanate from the brain stem and then run parallel
to each other within the internal auditory canal prior to their more peripheral distribution …

In the posterior cranial fossa, the separation of the vestibular and cochlear subdivisions of
the eighth nerve is clear in about 75% of cases. Although in the remaining cases the …

Object. The detailed anatomy of intracranial structures has been studied mainly in cadavers,
but the absence of cerebrospinal fluid and blood pressure in these models distorts normal …

The vestibulocochlear nerve was studied histologically in cross section from the brain stem
to the lateral fundus of the internal auditory canal. The fascicular pattern of the eighth cranial …

Introduction The anatomy of the nerves in the human internal auditory canal (IAC) has been
reported by a number of authors, and there are some differences among the viewpoints of …

The facial nerve is a mixed cranial nerve with motor, parasympathetic, and sensory
branches. The intraaxial segment is located within the brainstem and consists of the motor …

Thirty healthy volunteers were examined with a T2* w. 3D CISS and a T2 w. 3D turbo spin
echo (TSE) sequence in order to compare the facial and vestibulocochlear nerve …
