| Popis: | BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Vestibular aqueduct measurements in the 45° oblique (Pöschl) plane provide a reliable depiction of the vestibular aqueduct; however, adoption among clinicians attempting to counsel patients has been limited due to the lack of correlation with audiologic measures. This study aimed to determine the correlation between midpoint vestibular aqueduct measurements in the Pöschl plane in patients with an enlarged vestibular aqueduct with repeat audiologic measures. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Two radiologists independently measured the midpoint vestibular aqueduct diameter in the Pöschl plane reformatted from CT images in 54 pediatric patients (77 ears; mean age at first audiogram, 5 years) with an enlarged vestibular aqueduct. Four hundred nineteen audiograms were reviewed, with a median of 6 audiograms per patient (range, 3–17; mean time between first and last audiograms, 97.4 months). The correlation between midpoint vestibular aqueduct size and repeat audiologic measures (pure tone average, speech-reception threshold, and word recognition score) using a linear mixed-effects model was determined. RESULTS: The mean midpoint vestibular aqueduct size was 1.78 mm (range, 0.81–3.46 mm). There was excellent interobserver reliability with intraclass correlation coefficients for the 2 readers measuring 0.92 (P |
