Comparison of relationships about the round window.

Relationship Average Pediatric Angle (SD) Average Adult Angle (SD) P value
⊥RW:TRJ 41.39 (1.30) 39.47 (1.39) 0.003
⊥RW:⊥FR 30.43 (0.94) 36.67 (1.00) 0.009

(SD=standard deviation; ⊥RW=line perpendicular to the plane of the round window; ⊥FR=line perpendicular to the facial recess; TRJ=ideal drilling trajectory for cochleostomy)
