background: otalgia and bell’s palsy are rare manifestations of metastasis and the most common presentation of an inflammatory process in the temporal bone. case presentation: this article explains a 34-year-old woman with breast cancer who presented with cranial nerve palsy symptoms. the 7th and 8th cranial nerves were involved in the metastatic phase and then hoarseness was added to her sympt...

temporal bone chondroblastoma is an extremely rare benign bone tumor. we encountered two cases showing similar imaging findings on computed tomography (ct), magnetic resonance imaging (mri), and dual-time-point 18f-fluorodeoxyglucose (18f-fdg) positron emission tomography (pet)/ct. in both cases, ct images revealed temporal bone defects and sclerotic changes around the tumor. most parts of the ...

Introduction: Osteomas are asymptomatic and rare slow growing bony tumors in temporal bone, and should be taken into account in differential diagnosis of the osteolytic solitary skull lesions. Sometimes is associated with pain and functional loss. Only a few cases have been reported.   Case Report: We describe a case of an osteoid osteoma of the temporal bone (mastoid) in a 31-year-old woman pr...

various dimensions of the human vestibular aqueduct were evaluated in two groups, patient and control, and these measurements were compared. both groups were examined clinically, followed by audiometric evaluation and temporal bone high resolution ct scan. it was found that in approximately one third of the patient group (with idiopathic snhl), the vestibular aqueduct was 1.5 mm or larger. also...

A 73-year-old man with history of prostatic adenocarcinoma radical prostatectomy underwent 99mTc-MDP whole-body bone scan and subsequent 68Ga-labeled prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) ligand PET/CT for restaging due to a gradual rise of prostate-specific antigen levels. Whole-body bone scan showed two focal zones of slightly increased uptake in the right fronto-par...

Background Cochlear implantation is an approved treatment which can be used to treat severe to profound hearing loss. Imaging before cochlear implant surgery is very important in decision making and assessing the temporal bone anatomy for surgery. We aimed to assess the diagnostic value of high resolution CT scan (HRCT), and MRI of temporal bone in candidate pati...
