The overall means of the measurements were: the internal acoustic meatus length 9.71 mm (R) and 9.92 mm (L); the internal acoustic meatus width 3.97 mm (R) and 3.95 mm (L); the internal acoustic meatus height 4.65 mm (R) and 4.66 mm (L) in females, respectively.

📌 3 Key Takeaways

🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:Purpose: This study was aimed to determine the morphometry of internal acoustic meatus in healthy Turkish population aged between 18-60 years.Materials and Methods: This study which was a retrospective study, was carried out from the 142 healthy adult subjects (59 females; 83 males) aged 18-60 years.
📊
Key Findings & Data:The overall means of the measurements were: the internal acoustic meatus length 9.71 mm (R) and 9.92 mm (L); the internal acoustic meatus width 3.97 mm (R) and 3.95 mm (L); the internal acoustic meatus height 4.65 mm (R) and 4.66 mm (L) in females, respectively.
💡
Conclusion & Impact:Also, the ratio of IAM’width to height was calculated 0.860±0.125 and 0.825±0.137 in females and males in right side, respectively whereas in left side the corresponding value was 0.855±0.125 and 0.820±0.142 in females and males, respectively.Conclusion: Knowledge of the normal dimensions of the internal acoustic meatus is more important for determination of the clinical and tumor processes.

Abstract

Purpose: This study was aimed to determine the morphometry of internal acoustic meatus in healthy Turkish population aged between 18-60 years.Materials and Methods: This study which was a retrospective study, was carried out from the 142 healthy adult subjects (59 females; 83 males) aged 18-60 years. Subjects had undergone routine test in the Radiology Department. Results: The groups were divided into four groups according to age. The overall means of the measurements were: the internal acoustic meatus length 9.71 mm (R) and 9.92 mm (L); the internal acoustic meatus width 3.97 mm (R) and 3.95 mm (L); the internal acoustic meatus height 4.65 mm (R) and 4.66 mm (L) in females, respectively. The same dimensions were found 9.61 mm (R) and 9.87 mm (L); 4.18 mm (R) and 4.15 mm (L); 5.13 ±0.85 mm (R) and 5.13±0.90 mm (L) in males, respectively. Also, the ratio of IAM’width to height was calculated 0.860±0.125 and 0.825±0.137 in females and males in right side, respectively whereas in left side the corresponding value was 0.855±0.125 and 0.820±0.142 in females and males, respectively.Conclusion: Knowledge of the normal dimensions of the internal acoustic meatus is more important for determination of the clinical and tumor processes.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışma 18-60 yaş arası sağlıklı Türk popülasyonunda meatus acusticus internus morfometrisini belirlemek amaçlandı. Gereç ve Yöntem: Yaşları 18-60 arasında değişen yüz kırk iki sağlıklı yetişkin kişilerle (59 kadın, 83 erkek) yürütülen bu çalışma retrospektif bir çalışmadır. Çalışmaya katılan kişiler Radioloji bölümüne rutin test yaptırmak için gelen kişilerdi. Bulgular: Gruplar yaşa göre 4 gruba ayrıldı. Bütün ölçümlerin ortalamaları kadınlarda sırasıyla meatus acusticus internus uzunluğu 9,71 mm (sağ) ve 9,92 mm (sol); meatus acusticus internus genişliği 3,97 mm (sağ) ve 3,95 mm (sol); meatus acusticus internus yükseklik 4,65 mm (sağ) ve 4,66 mm (sol) iken aynı ölçümler erkeklerde sırasıyla 9,61 mm (sağ) ve 9,87 mm (sol); 4,18 mm (sağ) ve 4,15 mm (sol); 5,13 ±0,85 mm (sağ) ve 5,13±0,90 mm (sol) olarak bulunmuştur. Aynı zamanda, sağ tarafta meatus acusticus internus genişliğinin yüksekliğe oranı kadınlarda ve erkeklerde sırasıyla 0.860±0.125 ve 0.825±0.137 olarak hesaplanırken, aynı ölçümler sol tarafta kadınlarda ve erkeklerde sırasıyla 0.855±0.125, ve 0.820±0.142 olarak bulunmuştur.Sonuç: Meatus acusticus internus’un normal değerlerinin bilinmesi klinik ve tümör gelişiminin değerlendirilmesi açısından oldukça önemlidir.
