dc.description.abstractObjectives: We investigated the peripheric smell regions in patients with semicircular canal dehiscence (SCD) by cranial MRI. Methods: In this retrospective study, cranial MRI images of 186 adult patients were included. Group 1 consisted of 83 adult patients with SCD. The control group (Group 2) consisted of 83 healthy subjects without central vertigo. Olfactory bulb (OB) volume and olfactory sulcus (OS) depth were measured in all groups. Results: In group 1, SCD was detected on the right (33.7%), left (26.5%) sides and bilateral (39.8%). Localization of dehiscence was at superior SC (75.9%), posterior SC (21.7%), lateral SC (1.2%), and posterior + superior SCs (1.2%). OB volumes of the SCD group were significantly lower than the control group bilaterally (p < 0.05). There were no significant differences between OS depths of groups 1 and 2 (p > 0.05). In SCD group, there were positive correlations between OB volumes; OS depths; and OB volumes and OS depths (p < 0.05). In older patients, bilateral OS depth values got lower (p < 0.05). In females, left OB volume values were lower than males (p < 0.05). In right SCD (+) patients, left OS depth values got lower (p < 0.05). Conclusion: We concluded that possible changes in CSF dynamics may cause the development of SCD at thin bone segments; and a decrease in the OB volume. CSF leaks into the perineural sheet of the olfactory bulb (OB) maybe responsible for the decrease in the OB volume. In addition, minor trauma, infection, and inflammation may also be responsible for both coexistences of SCD development and OB volume decrease. (C) 2021 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
