Özet

Objective This study aimed to peruse anatomic features of the cranial aperture of the optic canal (CAOC) for obtaining an extended morphometric dataset in children. Methods Computed tomography images of 200 children were included in this retrospective work to analyze the shape, location and diameters of the CAOC. Results The CAOC area, width and height were observed as 17.53 +/- 2.80 mm(2), 6.12 +/- 0.84 mm, and 4.35 +/- 0.64 mm, respectively. The angle of the optic canal in axial plane was found as 39.28 +/- 5.13 degrees, while in sagittal plane as 16.01 +/- 6.76 degrees. The distance between the CAOC and the midsagittal line was 7.17 +/- 1.48 mm. The CAOC was measured as 54.04 +/- 5.23 mm and 42.55 +/- 3.28 mm away from the anterior and lateral boundary of the anterior skull base, respectively. The CAOC shape was described as the tear-drop (186 foramina, 46.5%), triangular (156 foramina, 39%), oval (47 foramina, 11.8%), and round (11 foramina, 2.8%). Conclusion The depth, angle and diameter measurements belonging to the CAOC were changing according to its shape or demographic data (e.g., sex and age). Therefore, preoperative radiologic evaluation containing the shape, location and size of the CAOC should be considered by multidisciplinary operating teams in terms of surgical interventions such as implant positioning.
