Vestibular lamella
Lamella vestibularis
Definition
The osseous spiral lamina (lamina spiralis ossea) is a dual bony shelf or ledge (vestibular and a tympanic lamella) which projects from the modiolus into the interior of the canal, and, like the canal, takes two-and three-quarter turns around the modiolus.
