Therefore, our objective was to determine a possible relationship between TT status (dehiscence or integrity) and the roof of the glenoid fossa (RGF) thickness; SSC status has also been considered. Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted in two tertiary hospitals on 95 patients (109 ears) presenting hypoacusia, facial palsy, vertigo, tinnitus, and other single or combined symptoms, and submitted to a thin-section multidetector-row computed axial tomography (CT) scan. Results: A significant interaction effect of TT × SSC statuses on RGF thickness was found (p = 0.049). A significant difference in RGF thickness was found only for SSC integrity status between TT integrity and TT dehiscence (p = 0.004). The TT dehiscence increased the risk for RGF dehiscence 12.047 times (p = 0.002). Conclusions: There is an interaction effect of the statuses of both TT and SSC on the thickness of the RGF, instead of an independent effect of the TT status. When RGF dehiscence is found, TT and SSC statuses should be assessed, to discard associated dehiscences. info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess All rights reserved http://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 1.246 2020 ANATOMY & MORPHOLOGY 16 / 21 = 0.762 2020 Q4 T3 SURGERY 180 / 210 = 0.857 2020 Q4 T3 RADIOLOGY, NUCLEAR MEDICINE & MEDICAL IMAGING 122 / 133 = 0.917 2020 Q4 T3 0.425 2020 Anatomy 2020 Q2 Surgery 2020 Q2 Radiology, Nuclear Medicine and Imaging 2020 Q2 Pathology and Forensic Medicine 2020 Q2 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion Cisneros, Ana Isabel Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-5494-343X Fraile, Jesús José Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-6561-3305 Whyte, Ana Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-4263-4023 Crovetto, Rafael Monteagudo, Luis Vicente Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0003-0210-2919 Crovetto, Miguel Angel Tejedor, María Teresa Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0001-5026-5144 1001 420 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
