OBJECTIVE: The sinus tympani is a challenging area for the otologic surgeon to access and from which to remove the disease process. Recently, a posterior approach to the sinus tympani through the mastoid was proposed as an alternative technique in cases of deep sinus tympani. STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING: The posterior approach was performed by dissecting the triangular bony area formed by the facial nerve, lateral semicircular canal, and posterior semicircular canal in 8 temporal bone specimens. RESULTS: The edges of the triangle on the facial nerve and lateral semicircular canal were almost constant at 5 mm. The edge on the posterior semicircular canal was about 4 mm. CONCLUSION: It is possible to expose the sinus tympani from the posterior by careful dissection through this triangle, which has almost constant dimensions.
In 1914, Adam Politzer (1835-1920) was invited to the Viennese Toynbee Hall to give a lecture. To prepare for his lecture, Politzer wrote a manuscript of 22 pages, seven of them are particularly interesting concerning biographical information on Joseph and Arnold Toynbee. These seven pages are presented in translation from German to English. Politzer particularly emphasizes the social qualities of these two men. This manuscript is representative of his high regard for Joseph and Arnold Toynbee. It completes the few existing biographies of Joseph Toynbee.
