1 SUMMARY SEMICIRCULAR CANAL ANATOMY AS SEEN IN MICRODISSECTION Nguyen Thanh Vinh*; Tran Ngọc Anh** Nguyen Hoang Vu***; Le Gia Vinh****; Pham Ngoc Chat***** Objectives: To investigate semicircular canal anatomy as seen in microdissection; evaluate osseous semicircular canal, membranous semicircular canal and the relationship of semicircular canal with the adjacent anatomical structures. Subjects and methods: Samples of 9 human corpse heads, 18 ears were selected belonging to Department of Anatomy, University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Hochiminh City. The semicircular canal was explored with transmastoid and cranial fossa approach. Results: 9 human corpse heads, 18 ears were selected with average age 61.5 (53-70). Horizontal, superior osseous semicircular canal and posterior membranous semicircular canal was clearly identified with cranial fossa approach. Horizontal, posterior osseous and membranous semicircular canals were clearly identified with transmastoid approach. Membranous semicircular canal was situated the outer edge of the osseous semicircular canal. Conclusions: All of these approaches can be used to clearly identify the semicircular canal anatomical structure. * Keywords: Osseous semicircular canal; Membranous semicircular canal; Cranial fossa approach; Transmastoid approach. INTRODUCTION The semicircular canals system is a component of the vestibular system, contributing significantly to the body's balance function. Anatomically, there are three semicircular canals: horizontal (lateral), superior and posterior semicircular canals. They are very small structures, in different planes, lied within the earlobe and buried deep in the temporal bones. When studying, researching or teaching, people has to depend on images printed in textbooks or models, which causes a lot of difficulties to understand clearly, especially related specialties such as: anatomy, neurosurgery and ENT. In the world, there are many books have been written on temporal bone surgery, but the presentation of the approach to this system is still unclear and specific. In Vietnam, there have also been reports of semicircular canals, there are images and clinical applications in the diagnosis and treatment of the disease. * ENT Hospital, Hochiminh City ** Vietnam Military Medical University *** Medicine and Pharmacy University **** Vietnam Medical Asociation Corresponding author: Nguyen Thanh Vinh (drvinhent@gmail.com) Date received: 26/04/20181 Date accepted: 29/06/
2 In fact, when participating in the temporal bone surgery courses, it is always difficult to study the anatomy of semicircular canals and requires intensive means as well as the experience of surgeons performing surgery. In order to solve this problem, we need to have a specific approach that can help physicians and practitioners to see and understand correctly the anatomy of semicircular canal system. Therefore, we investigate Labyrinth anatomy as seen in microdissection and evaluate osseous labyrinth, membranous labyrinth and the relationship of labyrinth with the adjacent anatomical structures. SUBJECTS AND METHODS 1. Subjects. Vietnamese adults human corpse heads were selected belonging to Department of Anatomy, University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Hochiminh City. * Selection criteria: - Vietnamese adults. - Corpse heads were selected belong to Department of Anatomy, University of Medicine and Pharmacy of Hochiminh City. - Normal temporal bone in anatomy. * Exclusion criteria: - Age < Having ear problems. - Interventions for ear surgery. - Congenital malformations of the head and neck. - Traumatic in head or temporal region. 2.

DISCUSSION 1. Bony semicircular canal. In terms of morphology, all three bony semicircular canals are in the same position as being described in books, in which the lateral bony semicircular canal had a higher rate to be seen clearly than other bony semicircular canals in both 2 approaches (cranial and postauricular); only two ears were not really visible because of the extensive development of the mastoid air cells, which surrounded the lateral bony semicircular canal, so it was difficult to see. Due to the relatively vertical position, it was more difficult to recognize superior bony semicircular canal by the postauricular approach than cranial approach. On the other hand, on the base of the skull base, it was possible to see the protrusion of the lateral bony semicircular canal, which was easier to define. If mastoid air cell is well-developed, there will be an air cell between the superior semicircular canal and the base of the skull; so it is more easily recognized due to protrusion of the lateral bony semicircular canal. Particularly, because the posterior semicircular canal was on the horizontal position and lower than the superior and lateral semicircular canal, it was buried deep inside the otic capsule and was difficult to recognize. On the other hand, in mastoid bone with a well-developed air cell, many layers of air cell covered the lateral side of the posterior semicircular canal. Thus, it is more difficult to detect posterior semicircular canal. 125
6 Through the postauricular approach, to see clearly the semicircular canal, we need to extend the way up to the epitympanum through the mastoid antrum to the malleus-incudal joint. If the mastoid air cells are good, mastoid antrum will be large and the distance from the mastoid antrum to the epitympanic roof will be farther; so the approach was much easier as the lateral semicircular canal was easily recognized. If the mastoid air cell was poorly developed, it was more difficult to access the lateral bony semicircular canal. Because semicircular canal are located inside otic capsule, the lateral semicircular canal plays an important role in guiding to identify the remaining semicircular canals. Thus, rely on an air cells, identification of lateral semicircular canal can be easy or difficult. In autopsy bony semicircular canal, we noted the connection of the bony semicircular canals, particularly the perilymph between the superior and lateral semicircular canal in ampullae of membranous semicircular canal position. Therefore, perilymph connect to all 3 semicircular canals. 2. Membranous semicircular canal. Membranous semicircular canal was inside the bony semicircular canal. It had been noted that membranous semicircular canal was in lateral margin of semicircular canal. In fact, we noted that most membranous semicircular canal were located on the outer edge of the bony semicircular canal. It make the surgeons open the bony semicircular canal carefully, otherwise it will damage the membranous semicircular canal. Ampulle of superior membranous semicircular canal is located near ampulle of lateral membranous semicircular canal in position of utricle. 3. Adjacent structures. In the procedure, we noted that there were structures associated with bony semicircular canal, which will help surgeons to identify semicircular canals in difficult cases. - Short limb of incus: The most nearby anatomical landmark, slightly deviated from the posterior branch of the lateral bony semicircular canal. The more visible the lateral semicircular canal is, the shorter this distance is. In case of much mastoid air cells, the air cells inserted between the lateral bony semicircular canal and the short limb of incus, making this distance farther. - Segment 2 of the nerve VII usually position anterio-inferior to lateral bony semicircular canal, bony covered of the second segment can be defective, revealing nerve VII. Due to the location and defection of the bone, this anatomy landmark is less mentioned although it is considered to be related to the semicircular canal system. - Segment 2 of facial nerve: Usually is located under short limb of incus, surrounded by bone, covered above by air cells. Thus, it is more difficult to identify than short limb of incus. If mastoid has less air cells, segment 2 of facial nerve are located near the bony lateral semicircular canal rather than short limb of incus. If mastoid has more air cells, segment 2 will be far away from lateral bony semicircular canal. 126
7 - Segment 3 of the facial nerve is more related to the posterior bony semicircular canal, in the position of the ampulle poured into the utricle. Normally, ampulle of the lateral bony semicircular canal is located just below - segment 3 of the facial nerve, at the moment of passing of facial nerve. If mastoid air cell is welldeveloped, more mastoid air cells insertion between posterior bony semicircular canal and segment 3 of the facial nerve, widening the distance between ampulle posterior bony semicircular canal and segment 3 of the facial nerve. 4. Autopsy approach. For ENT specialists, the postauricular approach is a common since this way is easy to learn and easy to apply to the surgery. The semicircular canal approach is to drill half of the bony semicircular canal to clearly observe membranous semicircular canal. The postauricular approach helps accessing easily in the following order: Lateral semicircular canal, posterior semicircular canal and lastly superior semicircular canal. Lateral semicircular canal is easy to approach because the direction of the microscope is straight, and the lateral semicircular canal protrudes more distal than other semicircular canal. On the other hand, superior semicircular canal, due to the vertical position, is higher than the lateral semicircular canal and contact with the skull bone; so this semicircular canal is partially hidden, difficult to dislocate. Moreover, the posterior semicircular canal is usually more accessible than superior semicircular canal because it is only covered by well-developed air cell on the surface. Surgeons, after drilling these air cells, can recognize posterior semicircular canal. As membranous semicircular canal, the postauricular approach helps surgeon see anatomy structures clearly in the following order: Posterior membranous semicircular canal, lateral membranous semicircular canal, and finally superior semicircular canal. If only doing surgery to see the anatomy structures, approach type is not a big matter. However, as we do research, our autopsy approach will be more accurate than other approach. Furthermore, for our application in surgery, our autopsy approach is much more applicable in real surgery for disease treatment. Cranial approach is easier to manipulate with the superior semicircular canal, easier to observe the lateral membranous semicircular canal than the postauricular approach. On the other hand, this approach is wider than the postauricular one, which can manipulate on all three semicircular canals. However, this approach is only used in autopsy, not applied in real surgery. CONCLUSION Through a combination of two approaches: The postauricular approach and cranial approach for accessing to bony - membranous semicircular canal, with 9 corpses, 18 ears, we can conclude: * Postauricular approach: - Helping to approach bony semicircular canal well in following order: Lateral, posterior, and finally superior. - For membranous semicircular canal, the order is posterior, lateral, and superior. 127
8 * Cranial approach: - Helping to approach bony semicircular canal well in following order: Superior, lateral and posterior. - For membranous semicircular canal, the order is lateral, posterior, superior. Therefore, all two autopsy approaches support each other, providing good access to all three bony and membranous semicircular canals. REFERENCES 1. J.V Beek-King. Retrolabyrithine approach.
