  • Title: Computer-aided three-dimensional reconstruction of guinea pig cochlear aqueduct.
    Author: Toriya R, Arima T, Kuraoka A, Uemura T.
    Journal: Acta Otolaryngol; 1991; 111(5):917-20. PubMed ID: 1759578.
    Abstract:
    A computer-aided method of three-dimensional reconstruction was applied to the determination of the overall spatial configuration of the guinea pig cochlear aqueduct. The rotation function of the reconstructed images was useful in showing the individual small parts of the duct. A semi-translucent display of the segmental reconstruction of the duct demonstrated a difference in the density of the cellular components between the opening to the perilymphatic space and the duct portion. We propose that the cochlear aqueduct serves as a protective mechanism against a sudden change in CSF pressure in the subarachnoid space.
