In this article we describe the surgical management of petrous bone cholesteatoma, a rare form of an epidermoid cyst growing medially into the petrous part of the temporal bone. In our series of 5 patients, high resolution Computerized Tomography (CT) played an essential role in the diagnosis of this pathological entity. CT was also important in planning for the surgical access to this intricat...
