ResumoA total of 453 human temporal bones from foetuses, newborns, children, and adults were analysed with respect to the structure and histological appearances of the fissula ante fenestram region in the otic capsule. Our findings differ from those of previous workers on the fissula ante fenestram (Bast, Anson, Wilson, and associates). We do not interpret the secondary new-formations of cartilage and bone in the fissula ante fenestram as a precursor of the formation of an otosclerotic focus in this region. The difference between these types of tissue is discussed and elucidated by histological findings.
