The secondary objectives were to assess the extent of bony covering at the geniculate ganglion and to record inter\u2010observer reliability of the CT measurements.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>The dimensions of the LFN canal at its narrowest point perpendicular to the long axis and the extent of bony covering at the geniculate ganglion were assessed by two radiologists. Statistical analysis was performed using the Wilcoxon signed\u2010rank and Mann\u2010Whitney <jats:italic>U<\/jats:italic> tests (LFN canal dimensions) and the Chi\u2010squared test (bony covering at the geniculate ganglion).

There was no significant difference in the narrowest dimensions of the ipsilateral LFN canal when compared to the contralateral side or controls (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a0.43\u2010.94). Similarly, there was no significant difference in the extent of bony covering at the geniculate ganglion when compared to either group (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a0.19\u2010.8). Good inter\u2010observer reliability was observed for LFN measurements (ICC\u00a0=\u00a00.75\u20100.88) but not for the bony covering at the geniculate ganglion (Cohen's
