Abstract
• Computerized and graphic three-dimensional reconstruction of a human endolymphatic duct and sac (ES) showed the ES to be a fusiform and flattened structure with marked tubularity, especially in the extraosseous region. The specimen was 18.2 mm long. It measured 60 x 200 µm at the isthmus portion of the endolymphatic duct and 200 x 7000 µm at the broadest part of the ES. The volume of the endolymphatic duct was 0.03 mm³ and of the ES, 1.85 mm³. The extraosseous ES volume represented more than two thirds of the total ES volume.
