Development of the Geniculate Ganglion in Human Fetuses.

Aim: To present the quantitative development of the geniculate ganglion (GG) in foetal cadavers.

Material And Methods: This study focused on 60 temporal bones of 30 (15 female and 15 male) foetuses aged 18?30 weeks of gestation (mean age, 22.83 ± 3.

Growth Pattern of the Tympanic Ring in Human Fetuses.

Objectives: The study aimed to display the growth pattern of the tympanic ring in fetal cadavers of 20-30 weeks of gestation.

Methods: In the study, 32 temporal bones of 16 fetuses (8 males, 8 females) of 24.62 ± 3.

Anatomic features of the fetal round and oval windows, and their relations with the tympanic nerve.

Objective: The study aimed to examine morphometric properties of the round window (RW) and oval window (OW) and to show their relation with the tympanic nerve (the Jacobson's nerve, JN) in human fetuses from the otologic surgeon's perspective.

Methods: Thirty temporal bones of 15 fetal cadavers (8 males, 7 females) aged with 24.40 ± 3.

Comparison of fetal and adult tympanic membrane sizes: a cadaveric study.

Objective: The work aimed to compare fetal and adult tympanic membrane (TM) sizes for understanding dimensional development from intrauterine life to adulthood.

Methods: Fifty-six temporal bones (18 fetuses, 10 elderly adults, half male and half female in each group) were included in this study. Using a digital image software, the TM height, width and area were measured.

Fetal Anatomy of the Optic Strut and Prechiasmatic Sulcus with a Clinical Perspective.

Objective: The main objective of the study was to show the morphologic features of optic strut (OS) and prechiasmatic sulcus (PS) in the fetal skull base with a surgical anatomical perspective.

Methods: Twenty-three fetal cadavers (9 female, 14 male) with an average age of 21.70 ± 3.
