Authors observed in cases of kryptogenetic diseases of cranial nerves V, VII and VIII a significant higher frequency of well pneumatized petrous portion of the temporal bone than in normal population. They suppose that, parallel to the symptoms of Eustachian tube occlusion in the middle ear region, the "Vacuum Petrosum" causes these disturbances of cranial nerve functions and try to interpret the mechanism in the particular cases.
