Abstract Objective. To assess the superior semicircular canal (SSCC) morphology and to determine whether the SSCD correlate with the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) symptoms.

Study Design. Clinical data and CBCT of 175 patients were retrospectively examined by two observers. The distribution and thickness measurements of the different types of bone cover of the SSCC were performed.
SC
Results: Five radiological SSCC pattern was identified from CBCT data. 147 cases (42 %), defined as normal (0.6 -1.7 mm thickness), 62 cases (17.71%) as papyraceous-pattern (1.8 mm), and pneumatized-pattern in 42 cases (12 %). Observer 1 and 2 diagnosed SSCD in 22 of 350 (6.28%) temporal bones individually and had no discordances between the two reviews. All patients with SSCD had identified as having TMJ sign and symptoms (p 0.05). Overall intra-observer consistency for observer 1 was 92.4% between two examinations, 94.4% the detection of SSCC and 92.1% TMJ morphology and 100% for the detection of SSCD cases while the consistency for observer 2 was found 89.8% between two examinations, 90.2% the detection of SSCC and 90.2% TMJ morphology

and 100% for the detection of SSCD cases, respectively. All measurements were found to be highly reproducible for both observers and no significant difference was obtained from two measurements of the observers (p > 0.05).

Inter-observer consistency
There was no discordances in detecting the SSCD between the two reviews (ICC 1.0). The

intra-observer as well as inter-observer detection of SSCD were 100%. The ICCs for the measurements between Observer 1 and Observer 2 which ranged from 0.972 (CV-1.98%). There was a high inter- observer agreement, while a high ICC and low CV demonstrated that the procedure was standardized between the evaluations and measurements of the observers. No statistical differences were found among observers evaluations and measurements (p0.05) (Figure 6). SSCD length varied between 1.2 and 5.8 mm (mean 3.29 mm). No significant difference for defect length was found for left (mean 3.4 mm) and right (mean 3.1 mm) sides (p>0.05). Five of the defects were smaller than 2 mm, 9

were between 2 and 4mm and 8 were larger than 4mm.
Following this, the clinical files of these patients were retrieved and the TMJ symptoms of patients were noted for further correlation. From patients’ records, it was

Although no difference was found among age, sex and location (p>0.05), all patients (n=20) with SSCD had identified as having TMJ sign and symptoms with statistical significant (p3mm) in terms of the symptoms of this phenomenon as conductive hearing loss,
