Abstract
An anatomical model in wax by Tramond (middle of the 19th century) represented the cranial nerves of a left hemicranium. The aim of the study was to verify its anatomical veracity; to realize a tri‐dimensional vizualisation by computer; and finally to digitize them. It belonged to the Orfila museum (Paris). It represented the last cranial nerves specially the facial nerve and its branches. To perform the photographic rotation every 5° along 360°, we used a special device made of two identical, superimposed, marble disks linked by a ball bearing. A numerical camera and the Quick Time Virtual Reality software were used. 72 pictures were shot. This wax was realized with a great morphological accuracy from a true cranium as a support for the cranial nerves. The Orfila museum was closed and evacuated on december 2009.
