In the present study, we evaluated the diameter of internal acoustic canal in @entity1 with @entity4401 to investigate the role of anatomical differences of the temporal bone in etiology of @entity4401 . Sixty-four @entity1 who were diagnosed as @entity4401 and temporal bone computed tomography imagings of them were included into the study group (Group 1). The control group (Group 2) was consisted of 35 healthy subjects without @entity4401 . All @entity1 had temporal bone computed tomography imaging. The internal auditory canal inlet, mid-canal, outlet and canal lengths were measured at the most distinctive @entity2103 . In the study group, @entity4401 was on the right side in 26 @entity1 (40.6  %) and on the left side in 38 @entity1 (59.4  %). Initial House-Brackmann (HB) score was @entity3587 in 29 @entity1 (45.3  %), @entity47597 in 18 @entity1 (28.1  %), @entity16920 in 13 @entity1 (20.3  %) and @entity37936 in 4 @entity1 (6.2  %). At 6-month evaluation, HB-score of the @entity1 were @entity4178 in 37 @entity1 (57.8  %), @entity3587 in 25 @entity1 (39.1  %) and @entity47597 in 2 @entity1 (3.1  %). Internal auditory canal (IAC) measurements of the groups showed that there were no significant differences between the measurements of right-mid canal, right canal length; and left canal outlet and left canal length of the study and control groups. Right inlet and outlet; and left inlet and mid-canal values of the study group ( @entity4401 ) were significantly lower than those of the control group. In @entity4401 group, left inlet, outlet and canal length values were significantly higher than those of the right ones. Correlation analysis showed that there were no significant correlation between @entity912 side; initial HB stage; and IAC measurement results. In @entity1 with higher initial HB score, their 6-month later HB-score was also higher. In @entity1 with higher 6-month HB score; R canal inlet, R mid-canal, L-canal inlet, and L-mid canal values were lower. Lower IAC inlet and mid-canal values were detected in @entity1 with @entity4401 . Therefore narrow IAC inlet and mid-canal values may be one of the risk factors for @entity4401 .
