The purpose of this study is to measure the size of the round window niche and its relation to the mastoid segment of the facial nerve and the mastoid cortex, using high resolution computerized tomography of the temporal bone, in order to assess preoperatively what is the extent of obstruction of the round window membrane and whether there is a surgical possibility of round window approach in the insertion of electrode array into the cochlea
The assessment of the anatomy of the round window will be executed using the stractured measuring software used for imaging of the Bnai Zion medical center (CARESTREAM PACS Ver. 11.0, CARSTREAM HEALTH INC.) in IAC window (centered at 700 with a total width of 4000) in the available zoom by the software (usually 400-800%).
Measuring the length (mm) and angle will be executed by the software's structured rulers.
Measuring protocol:
Measured scans: one taken in an orbito-meatal plane
Chosen slices: where both the round window niche and the external ear canal are seen on the same slice
Distances measured:
Angles measured:
