Abstract

Frontal and off-lateral complex motion tomography was performed in 72 consecutive patients selected for endolymphatic sac surgery for episodic vertigo or sensorineural hearing loss. They were selected for this operation because of a fluctuating hearing loss. The morphology and visualization of the vestibular aqueduct and the degree of periaqueductal pneumatization were correlated with surgical results and the presence of bilateral disease. The surgical results were evaluated with use of the classification of the American Academy of Ophthalmology and Otolaryngology. Computer analysis was performed on the data for vestibular aqueduct radiographic anatomy and surgical results or bilateral disease. There was no correlation between visualization or morphology of the vestibular aqueduct and surgical results or presence of bilateral disease.
