High Resolution Computed Tomography Evaluation of Temporal Bone Lesions

Acute temporal bone trauma: utility of high-resolution computed tomography.

OBJECTIVE To determine the clinical utility of high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) for temporal bone trauma evaluation and management. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective review. SETTING Level I trauma center. PATIENTS Patients (n = 105) with evidence of temporal bone trauma. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Statistically significant associations between HRCT, clinical, audiometric, and head CT find...

Role of High-resolution Computed Tomography in the Evaluation of Temporal Bone Fracture

Introduction: Skull base and temporal bone fractures are frequently associated with severe high-velocity head trauma. Even though most of these fractures are not life-threatening, they are often associated with severe morbidity which has got a major impact on the quality of life. Conventional computed tomography (CT) has got its own limitations and often missed finer details of the temporal bon...

Evaluation of Temporal Bone Cholesteatoma and the Correlation Between High Resolution Computed Tomography and Surgical Finding

BACKGROUND Acquired cholesteatomas are commonly seen in patients less than 30 years. There is a typical history of recurrent middle ear infections with tympanic membrane perforation. The diagnosis of cholesteatoma is usually made on otologic examination. OBJECTIVE The aim of the work was to study the role of high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) in detecting, evaluating, and diagnosing m...
