Abstract

Purpose: Petrotympanic fissure (PF) is important for both dentists and otolaryngologists to know the tempo-ral anatomy well especially for pre-surgical radiological evaluations. Computed tomography (CT) is indis-pensable method for temporal bone imaging. The purpose of this study was to evaluate PF morphology and position using CT.
