  • Title: Observation of the external aperture of the vestibular aqueduct using three-dimensional surface reconstruction imaging.
    Author: Yamamoto E, Mizukami C, Isono M, Ohmura M, Hirono Y.
    Journal: Laryngoscope; 1991 May; 101(5):480-3. PubMed ID: 2030626.
    Abstract:
    Observation of the external aperture of the vestibular aqueduct was hitherto possible only in cadavers or dry temporal bones; however, by applying three-dimensional surface reconstruction imaging, it is now possible to observe solid-looking images of this structure in living humans. When the width of the external aperture of the vestibular aqueduct was measured in 58 people, it was found to be significantly narrower in the affected ears of patients with Meniere's disease than in normal ears.
