Article Synopsis
  • - The study updates Prof. Albert L. Rhoton Jr.'s foundational work in neuroanatomy by incorporating insights from his fellows and advancements in technology such as endoscopy and HDR photodocumentation to enhance efficiency in neuroanatomic study.
  • - It details a step-by-step method for specimen preparation using colored latex on cadaver heads, followed by demonstrating effective 3D photodocumentation techniques with a fixed brain specimen.
  • - The research outlines specific procedures for specimen handling, recommended tools, and compares different 3D projection systems, ultimately providing a comprehensive guide to advanced neuroanatomy suited for surgical laboratories worldwide.

Objective: To study the surgical anatomy of the labyrinthine artery (LA) and the subarcuate artery (SA), their anatomic relationships, and clinical implications, as injury of the LA can result in hearing loss.

Methods: Ten formalin-fixed, latex-colored specimens were studied (20 sides). After retrosigmoid craniotomy and neurovascular dissection under microscopic magnification, 4-mm 0° and 30° endoscopic lenses were used to improve visualization.
