Article Synopsis
- - The arcuate eminence (AE) is a bony structure on the petrous bone that is critical for neurosurgery but lacks thorough analysis in the context of lateral skull base surgeries.
- - This study aims to use the AE as a landmark to better locate the internal acoustic canal (IAC) during surgeries, introducing a new reference point called the "M-point."
- - Research involving 40 temporal bones and 2 cadaveric heads showed the average distance from the M-point to the IAC is about 14.9 mm, providing a safer drilling area for surgeons.
