title: [Verification of the computed tomography data on the topography of the facial nerve canal in young children with the use of dissection technique].
abstract: The authors describe decompression of the facial nerve in the preparations of the temporal bone from young children. The results of dissection were compared with computed tomographic images that reflect the X-ray topography of the facial nerve. It is concluded that the data thus obtained should be taken into consideration when planning and performing surgical interventions on the middle ear in the young children.
