    Area of Science:

    • Radiological anatomy
    • Otology
    • Medical imaging

    Background:

    • Accurate anatomical data of the middle ear is essential for interpreting tomographic images.
    • Previous studies may lack detailed morphometric data for specific middle ear regions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To establish baseline morphological and dimensional data for the tympanum, epitympanum, and hypotympanum.
    • To correlate the surface areas of the epitympanum and hypotympanum.
    • To provide data supporting embryological interpretations and diagnostic radiology of the middle ear.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of 100 petrous bone tomograms using Guillen's transorbital view.
    • Morphometric measurements of the tympanum, epitympanum, and hypotympanum.

    Main Results:

    • Provides basic data on the morphology, size, and surface area of the tympanum, epitympanum, and hypotympanum.
    • Correlations between epitympanum and hypotympanum surface areas were established.
    • Data supports specific embryological interpretations.

    Conclusions:

    • The study offers essential data for interpreting tomograms in cases of ossicular dislocation, congenital malformations, and tumors.
    • It refines criteria for cholesteatoma diagnosis.
    • Justifies the routine use of preoperative radiological investigations for middle ear pathologies.
