Abstrakt: | Objectives: The purpose of the study was to evaluate cochlea dimensions by the multiplanar reconstruction of high-resolution computed tomography that could be useful in diagnosing incomplete partition (IP) malformations. Methods: This study included 32 patients with 64 side cochleae diagnosed with IP defect and 38 cochleae as the control without any defect. Basal turn length (BL), cochlear height (CH), Mid-apical length (MAL), Mid-apical height, Cochlear length (A), and Cochlear width (B) were measured on reformat images. Results: Twenty cochleae of these patients have been diagnosed with IP type I, 34 with IP type II, and 10 with IP type III. The MAL values are shorter than the control group in IP types I and III (p<0.001, p<0.001). BL values are shorter in IP type III cases (p<0.001). In IP II cases, BL and MAL values overlapped with the control group. CH did not differ significantly from the control group in any IP type. A and B values were significantly lower than the control group for IP I and III (p<0.01). There is a positive correlation between A and B values for all IP types (p<0.01). Conclusion: Quantitative data about differences in the size and shape of the cochlea in IP cases would help differentiate them from the normal cochlea. Since A and B values showed a positive correlation, it is suggested that A and B values can be used to estimate CDL for IP types. Competing Interests: None declared.
