Abstract
The endolymphatic sac lies in the bony niche of the posterior surface of the pyramid. It partly touches the dura mater of the posterior fossa. The endolymphatic sac communicates with the endolymphatic system through the endolymphatic duct. The epithelia of the sac are either squamous cell or cuboidal cell.
