DETERMINATION OF MORPHOMETRY AND VOLUME OF THE INTERNAL AUDITORY CANAL
Journal Title: Kocatepe Medical Journal - Year 2023, Vol 24, Issue 1
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: The internal auditory canal (IAC) also known as internal acoustic meatus is a bone channel that connects the internal ear to the posterior cranial fossa. The mean length is approximately 1 cm. The edge of the IAC is called internal acoustic pore (IAP), and the edge of this aperture is blunt and rounded. Important formations such as facial nerve, vestibulocochlear nerve, labyrinth artery and labyrinth vein pass through the IAC. In addition, on the precise determination of the morphometry in surgical interventions on the temporal lobe, MAI is vital. Therefore, in this study, it was aimed to determine the morphometry and volume of MAI. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study was carried out on the CT images of 210 individuals randomly from the normal population between the ages of 10-90. Morphometric measurements of IAC (lateral angle (LA), canal length, anteroposterior (AP), diameter of IAP, distance from IAP to vestibular aqueduct (VA)) were performed. In addition, the shape and volume of IAC was determined in this study. Cases were divided into 7 different subgroups, 10-14, 15-20, 21-30, 31-40, 41-50, 51-60 and 61 years old, depending on their age. RESULTS: In this study, CT images of 210 patients were analyzed. The mean length of the MAI was 9.5±1.6mm, the AP diameter was 6.3±1.5mm, the distance from the entrance part to the VA was 15.1±6.64mm, the volume was 290±120mm3, and the LA was 50±14º. CONCLUSIONS: When the outcome data were compared by gender, it was found statistically significant that the right AP diameter was higher in men, the length of the right MAI and both sides LA were higher in women. In addition, when the volumes of MAI were compared by age groups, it was determined that the 10-14 age group was smaller than the other age groups
