“…Dehis cences of the facial canal occur in over 50% of the tempo ral bones and should not be considered to be anomalies [2]. Herniation of the facial nerve out of its facial canal has been described [3] and can cause surgical problems in stapes surgery. Many authors have studied the incidence of the natural dehiscences of the horizontal segment of the facial canal [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12], The results of these studies are not K A R f i F R © 1997 S.

“…The surgeon should always keep in mind that fallopian canal dehiscence is often not visible during surgery: for instance, a discrepancy between the prevalence of a dehiscent facial canal in histopathological and clinical studies has been reported (up to 74% versus 7–11%) [84]. In case of a large defect, the tympanic part of the facial nerve may even herniate into the middle ear and mimick a tumour [85]. …”

“…In 100 consecutive cases of stapes mobilization, Kaplan (1960) found 7 cases with dehiscence of the Fallopian canal, while Beddard and Saunders (1962) noticed dehiscence in 25% of 52 temporal bone dissections. Johnsson and Kingsley (1970) found during anatomical dissection a tumour-like, omega-shaped hernia tion of the facial nerve, through which microscopically all nerve fibres took course. It was assumed that a persistent stapedial artery was responsible for the herniation.…”
