    Co-Authors: Chen Xiaobai
    Abstract:

    OBJECTIVE To investigate high resolution CT(HRCT) findings of intratemporal Facial Nerve canal and its relationship with adjacent structures, and to evaluate their clinical significance.METHODS CT images were performed in 118 patients without abnormality of temporal bone.All original images were transferred to workstation for image processing.Facial Nerve canal and its relationship with adjacent structures were measured.RESULTS The minimal distance between the mastoid segment and posterior wall of the external canal,promontorium tympani,oval window were (4.23±0.73) mm,(4.3210.57) mm,and(3.21±0.31) mm respectively.Distance between short limb of incus and pyramidal segment of Facial Nerve was (3.32±0.37) mm.Width of Facial recess was(5.12±0.31) mm.Distance between the tympanic segment and promontorium tympani,oval window were(2.23±0.18) mm and(2.28±0.48) mm.CONCLUSION HRCT is a good method to study the anatomy of Facial Nerve canal and its relationship with adjacent structures,and may provide reliable information for the diagnosis of Facial Nerve Disease and surgery.
