title: Temporal bone: a tomographic anatomic study.
abstract: The complex anatomy of the temporal bone has been illustrated in a tomographic histologic correlative study. All the tomographic cuts were made in AP, basal and lateral projections of temporal bone specimens. These were decalcified, sectioned, stained and then correlated with the original tomographic studies.
