TI  - The subarcuate canaliculus and its artery--a radioanatomical study.
PG  - 207-11
AB  - The anatomy of the subarcuate canaliculus (SAC), subarcuate fossa (SAF) and 
      subarcuate artery (SAA) was studied in 12 cadavers and 35 dry temporal bones. 
      Each cadaver was scanned with high resolution CT (HRCT) prior to microdissection. 
      The SAC was always found to be a single canal located between the two arcs of the 
      anterior semicircular canal in both microdissections and HRCT scans and the 
      internal acoustic meatus was observed to be located just inferior to the SAC. The 
      SAC was on average of 9.2 mm in length and 1 mm in width. The SAF was situated at 
      a distance of 4.2 mm from the internal acoustic meatus, 3.5 mm from the groove 
      for the superior petrosal sinus, 6.7 mm from the opening of the vestibular 
      canaliculus and 11.5 mm from the most superior part of the jugular foramen. The 
      SAA was found to originate from the anterior inferior cerebellar artery in 9 
      cadavers and from the internal auditory artery in 3 cadavers. The SAA always 
      emerged from the main artery outside the internal acoustic meatus. It ran through 
      the SAC as a single artery. This study investigated CT correlated anatomical 
      aspects of the subarcuate canaliculus and its artery which is claimed to be 
      responsible for the blood supply of the mastoid antrum, facial canal and bony 
      labyrinth.
