Figure 6

SR‐PCI imaging of the anastomoses between the inferior (saccular nerve, SN) and the superior vestibular nerves (*green, SVN) in a right ear. The intermediate nerve (yellow, IN) runs lateral to the facial nerve (FN). A blood vessel can be seen (red). Inset A shows the close connection between the vestibular nerve (VN) and the intermediate nerve (IN). * Arachnoid attachment. Inset B demonstrates the anastomosis between the IN and FN. In inset C, the SVN gives off a branch (left red arrow) to the SN before entering the superior vestibular nerve canal (right arrow in red).
