Résumé
The aim of our study to contribute to the field of morphometrics by including measurements of the SAC and SAF and their distances from surrounding structures, particularly for surgeons involved in retrosigmoid approach for internal acoustic meatus tumor surgery and cerebellopontine angle surgery. Although there is limited information in the literature regarding the role of the subarcuate fossa (SAF) and subarcuate canal (SAC), it has been suggested that the SAC may be a potential pathway for infection from the middle ear to the posterior cranial fossa, and cerebellar abscesses may have this origin. For the images of our study, computerized tomography images of 118 individuals (59 females and 59 males) between the ages of 18-65 who applied to xxxx Health Group. The width of the cranial opening of the subarcuate canal was determined as 44 ± 0.54 mm, width of the labyrinth opening of the subarcuate canal was determined as 60 ± 0.42 mm, Length of the subarcuate canal was determined as 8.79 ± 2.31 mm, width of the subarcuate canal was determined as 5.54 ± 1.75 mm, and depth of subarcuate fossa was determined as 1.67 ± 0.69 mm. The distance of the cranial opening of the subarcuate canal to the superior semicircular canal (SSC-SAC/C) was measured as 5.33 ± 1.81 mm, The distance of the labyrinth opening of the subarcuate canal to the superior semicircular canal (SSC-SAC/L) was measured as 3.90 ± .98 mm, length of the petrous part of the temporal bone medial to the anterior semicircular canal measured from the apex to the SSCD (PLM) was measured as 33.56 ± 0.42 mm. No statistically significant differences were found between the right and left sides. The morphometric measurements obtained in this study can provide useful information for neurosurgeons, neurotologist and otolaryngologists involved in retrosigmoid approach for internal acoustic meatus tumor surgery and cerebellopontine angle surgery, and for patients undergoing cochlear implant planning with a retrofacial approach.
