Abstract

Aim: Morphometry of the external auditory canal was not previously studied among the normal population in the literature. In this study we aimed to indicate normal values and age, gender, and side related changes of the external auditory canal of healthy individuals.

Özet

Amaç: Literatürde dış kulak yolu morfometrisi normal popülasyonda daha önce incelenmemiştir. Bu çalışmada, sağlıklı bireylerde dış kulak yolunun normal ölçümleri ve bu değerlerin yaş, cinsiyet ve taraflar arasında gösterdiği farklılıkları değerlendirmeyi amaçladık.
