The relationship of the round window membrane to the cochlear aqueduct shown in three-dimensional imaging
Abstract
The round window membrane and cochlear aqueduct complex in the guinea pig are reconstructed with 3D-imaging, using orthogonal plane fluorescence optical sectioning (OPFOS). The 3D-images show that the periotic duct and the aqueduct are connected to a pouch-like extension of the round window. The function of this may be regulation of aqueduct flow resistance under the influence of a pressure difference between inner ear fluid and middle ear.
