ABSTRACT:
Aim and objective : To study the morphometric analysis of internal acoustic meatus . Background: The internal acoustic meatus (iam) is a short bony canal that lies between the posterior surface of the petrous pyramid and the bony labyrinth within the dense petrous part of the temporal bone. The cn vii ( facial nerve ), cn vii ( vestibulotrochlear nerve ) and labyrinth vessels pass through the internal acoustic meatus. The internal acoustic meatus is important as a region in which acoustic neuromas occur.
