Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the chorda tympani nerve (CTN) during atresiaplasty for congenital aural atresia (CAA) to assess its location and preservation potential.
- Six patients were studied, revealing that the CTN was consistently located in the atretic plate and could be preserved in some cases with favorable conditions.
- The findings suggest that the incus buttress is a key landmark for identifying the CTN, with preservation being most feasible in patients with a Jahrsdoerfer score of 9 and grade I microtia.
Objective: To determine the incidence and volume of pneumolabyrinth using early temporal bone computed tomography (TBCT) findings and evaluate the correlation between pneumolabyrinth and various clinical variables.
Study Design: Retrospective case review.
Setting: Tertiary academic center.
