Some relations of the seventh and eighth cranial nerves. In a is shown, somewhat exaggerated spatially, the disposition of the four roots of these nerves at the brain stem and in b, also exaggeratedly spread apart, the relations of the three peripherally distinct components (cochlear and vestibular being ordinarily not separable here) as they might be seen from above. In c, d, and e are shown variable relations between these nerves and the anterior inferior cerebellar and labyrinthine (internal auditory) arteries as they might appear in a cerebellar approach, from which aspect the eighth nerve commonly hides the seventh.
