In the present work, casts of vessels surrounding the internal auditory canal of the guinea pig were subjected to scanning electron microscopic examination. Most casts were prepared by the resin-casting method using Mercox resin. The following results were obtained: 1) Individual variations and bilateral asymmetry were observed in the anterior inferior cerebellar artery (AICA), which branches off the basilar artery (BA); 2) Frequently a loop the AICA was found in the CP-angle and internal auditory canal; 3) The internal auditory artery (IAA) did not always originate in AICA but sometimes arose directly from BA; 4) In common cochlear artery and anterior vestibular artery, there were individual differences and asymmetric branching patterns on both sides; 5) We conclude that inner ear disease of vascular origin may be influenced by individual variations in the BA and its branches.
