[Correlations between topography of the main structures of the temporal bone and the location of the sigmoid sinus].
Topographical relations between main structures of the temporal bone are important for otosurgeons. There were reports aiming at establishing some laws in the temporal bone building, that would allow to anticipate the location of the important structures in the temporal bone. It is obvious nowadays that precise and absolute rules do not exist. In the present study the aim was to estimate if there are statistically significant correlations between some dimensional parameters of the temporal bone. It was stated that the smaller the distance between the sigmoid sinus and the external auditory meatus, the higher the jugular bulb is situated. Coefficient in this correlation was 0.46. However, no correlation was found between the location of the sigmoid sinus and the facial nerve on one hand and the internal carotid artery on the other. It is important for otosurgeons to know that the prominent sigmoid sinus does not determine existence of a narrow facial recess.
