摘要背景：上级半规管裂开综合征（SSCD）是目前的诊断，是由于骨损失覆盖的上级半规管（SSC）。这导致压力/声音引起的眩晕和眩晕。目的：目的：探讨中国人上级半规管骨厚度的年龄、性别差异。材料与方法：回顾性分析了2017年1月至2018年4月在山东大学第二医院耳外科门诊就诊的311例颞骨锥形束计算机断层扫描（CBCT）图像。在Poschl线上重建图像，并拍摄覆盖SSC的骨的最薄区域。结果：我们包括172名（55.31%）女性和139名（44.69%）男性。平均年龄为41岁。厚度的总体平均差异为-0.0210。女性和男性之间的骨厚度无显著差异（p = 0.7113）。随着年龄的增长，平均差异为0.0801（p = 0.1557），无统计学显著性。结论及意义：骨厚度随年龄增长无明显变化。CBCT是评价SSCD的最佳方法。
Abstract Background: Superior semicircular canal dehiscence syndrome (SSCD) is a current diagnosis that is due to a loss of bone covering the superior semicircular canal (SSC). This results in pressure-/sound- induced vertigo and oscillopsia. Objective: To find the variation of the thickness of the bone that covers the Superior Semicircular Canal with relation to age and gender among the Chinese descents. Materials and methods: Three hundred and eleven temporal bone Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) images of patients who attended Otology clinic at Second Hospital of Shandong University from January, 2017 to April, 2018 were retrospectively studied. The images were reconstructed in the line of Poschl and the thinnest area of the bone covering the SSC was taken. Results: We included 172 (55.31%) females and 139 (44.69%) males. Mean age was 41 years. Overall mean difference in thickness was found to be –0.0210. There was no significant difference between the female and male bone thickness (p = .7113). With age the mean difference was 0.0801 (p = .1557) which was not statistically significant. Conclusion and significance: There was no significant change in bone thickness with advancing age. CBCT is the best method of assessing SSCD.
