Relationship Between the Cochlear Aqueduct and Internal Auditory Canal: Surgical Implications for Transcanal Transpromontorial Approaches to the Lateral Skull Base

Conclusion: A close relationship between the CA and the IAC could be established, despite the anatomical variability of the CA. The distance between CA and IAC increases by 0.25 per mm from the fundus to the porus of the IAC. These findings quantify the inferior limit of dissection of the transcanal transpromontorial approach to the lateral skull base.
