Further Contribution in the Densitometric Study of the Labyrinthic Capsule with Special Reference to the Bottom of the Internal Auditory Meatus

Abstract

The quantity of minerals in the labyrinthic capsule of the basal coil and of the separating wall facing the internal auditory meatus in different life periods was determined by the densitometric method. The quantity of minerals is reduced in the labyrinthic capsule and in the separating wall in spite of the bone apposition and increasing thickness of the separating wall.
