labyrinthine artery การใช้

• The internal auditory meatus provides a passage through which the vestibulocochlear nerve, the facial nerve, and the labyrinthine artery ( an internal auditory branch of the basilar artery ) can pass from inside the skull to structures of the inner ear and face.
• The inner ear is supplied by the anterior tympanic branch of the maxillary artery; the stylomastoid branch of the posterior auricular artery; the petrosal branch of middle meningeal artery; and the labyrinthine artery, arising from either the anterior inferior cerebellar artery or the basilar artery.
• It may also compress the labyrinthine artery ( main artery supplying the vestibular apparatus and cochlea of the inner ear ) which passes through the auditory canal, resulting in ischemia or infarction ('heart attack'of the ear, resulting in death of the supplied tissue ).
