The Multifaceted Human Round Window Anatomical Aspects and Clinical Relevance
The human RWN forms a highly variably shaped corridor to the RWM and cochlear base. It may be subdivided and partially closed by a pseudomembrane or soft tissue obscuring the RWM. The RWM seems to be invariably reached by channels containing neural or stretch-receptor-like structures from the spiral ganglion believed to be involved in perilymph pressure regulation.
