“…Previous studies showed different rates of SSCD ranging from 3.3% to 16.5% 9,33,34,40,41,42,43,44 The differences in the incidence of SSCD might be related to the differences in slice thickness and imaging modality. Many studies used CT imaging to analyze SSC characteristics.…”

“…Similarly, some previous studies revealed no significant differences in the SSCD thickness based on gender. 34,35,36,37 For instance, Evlice et al 34 and Altun et al 33 reported no significant differences between males and females regarding the SSCD patterns. However, Crovetto et al 38 and Karimnejad et al 39 referred to a significant female predominance for semicircular canal dehiscence.…”

“…30,31,32 To the best of our knowledge, SSCD is a relatively newly defined type of developmental defect, and only one study has investigated its epidemiology in subjects with CLP. 33 We hypothesized that the prevalence of SSCD was higher among CLP subjects, which correlates with the cleft's severity. Therefore, the present study aimed to compare the SSC bone thickness and pattern in subjects with Unilateral CLP (UCLP) and Bilateral CLP (BCLP) and normal controls using CBCT.…”

Superior Semicircular Canal Dehiscence (SSCD) is a recently-defined developmental defect may be associated with several craniofacial anomalies such as Cleft Lip/Palate (CLP). The present study aimed to compare subjects with unilateral and bilateral CLP and normal controls in terms of Superior Semicircular Canal (SSC) bone thickness and pattern. A total of 238 Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) images were collected from 52 unilateral Cleft Lip and Palate (UCLP) subjects (104 temporal bones) and 38 Bilateral Cleft Lip and Palate (BCLP) (76 temporal bones) subjects and 148 healthy controls (296 temporal bones). The SSC bone thickness was measured twice and validated by a maxillofacial radiologist. The samples were then classified into five categories based on bone thickness: papyraceous or thin, normal, thick, pneumatized, and dehiscence. After all, the UCLP, BCLP, and normal control groups were compared concerning the SSC pattern and thickness. The results revealed no significant difference among the three groups regarding the SSC pattern and thickness based on gender. The SSC patterns ( P value = .001) and SSC thickness (0.01) were strongly correlated to the cleft type. The thinnest bone thickness and the highest incidence of SSCD were observed among the subjects with BCLP. The results showed a significant association between the SSC patterns and SSC thickness and the study groups.

“…12 Low-dose cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is commonly used to visualize the craniofacial area. 13,14 In patients with CLP, CBCT offers precise information about the morphology of the alveolar bone before alveolar bone grafting. 15 However, CBCT can be used to identify suspected hearing problems and improve the education of family members and medical staff working with patients, as well as for more appropriate therapy.…”

To compare the morphological characteristics of the Eustachian tube (ET) between patients with cleft palate and healthy controls with the use of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Retrospective assessment of treated nonsyndromic patients with cleft palate and a control group. CBCT images of 51 patients with cleft palate who had previously undergone surgery to close the cleft palate and a control group of 51 patients were included in this study. Syndromic patients were excluded. The cleft group were divided into 3 groups according to the palatoplasty technique, which was done in the infancy period to close the cleft palate (Nadjmi modification of Furlow, Sommerlad, and V-Y pushback). Finally, ET length (ETL), ET angle, and auditory tube angle (ATA) were measured in all patients. The ETL, ETA, and ATA in the cleft and the normal control groups were 29.73 ± 3.14 and 32.18 ± 3.34 mm, 33.18 ± 2.57 and 35.40 ± 3.93, and 141.64 ± 4.13 and 138.87 ± 4.96, respectively. All 3 features were statistically significant among the groups (All Ps < .05). ETL and ETA were significantly higher in Nadjmi modification of Furlow and Sommerlad palatoplasty techniques compared to the V-Y pushback technique, while there was no significant difference in the ATA between the palatoplasty groups. Cleft palate can significantly affect the morphological characteristics of the ET. Type of the infancy palatoplasty can influence some of its dimensions.
