"The saccule sits in the medial portion of the vestibule. On high-resolution, heavily T2-weighted MRI, the normal saccule appears as an oval high signal structure, which in the coronal plane is delimited superiorly by the hyposignal band of the utricular macula, inferiorly by the cochlear bone, and laterally by another hyposignal band that separates it from the perilymphatic fluid in the rest of the vestibule (cisterna perilymphatica of the vestibulum) 7,8."
