Purpose This study aimed to evaluate subtympanic sinus (STS) and its vicinity in high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) scans of children under five years old with non-diseased temporal bones. Material and method We divided the whole group into children under 24 months of age (first stage of pneumatisation development) and between 25 and 60 (second stage). We have determined the width of the entrance to STS, depth of the STS, type in relation to facial nerve according to Anschuetz classification, the pneumatisation of posterior and medial air cell tracts, and jugular bulb position. All the HRCTs (280 temporal bones) were analyzed according to the multiplanar reconstruction protocol with symmetrization. Results STS’s mean width and depth were 2.71 ± 0.60 mm and 3.26 ± 1.11 mm, respectively. The most common STS type was type A (59.3%), followed by type B (30.7%) and type C (10%). The posterior air cell tract (retrofacial cells) was present in 39.3%. The medial air cell tract (hypotympanic cells) was present in 30.7% The jugular bulb position affected the final shape of STS in 17.5%. Conclusion The results support the necessity of the classification for the STS. Our study may help with surgical planning regarding endoscopic ear procedures and gives a broader understanding of how pneumatization or jugular bulb might correlate with the final shape of the retrotympanum. The historical remarks track the term’s origin for clarity in research and respect for earlier investigators.

Cochlear implants (CIs) have demonstrated a clear functional benefit in children with severe-to-profound sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) and thus have gained wide acceptance for treating deafness in the pediatric population. When evaluating young children for cochlear implantation, there are unique considerations beyond the standard issues addressed during surgery in adults. Because of advances in genetic testing, imaging resolution, CI technology, post-implant rehabilitation, and other factors, issues related to CI surgery in children continue to evolve. Such factors have led to changes in candidacy guidelines, vaccine requirements, and lowering of age requirement for surgery. In addition, differences in the anatomy and physiology of infants require special attention to ensure safety when operating on young children. This review summarizes these issues and provides guidance for surgeons treating children with SNHL.
