Abstract :
Background: HRCT plays an important role in
evaluation of middle ear, particularly for ossicles, bony
structures and inner ear canals.This study is an attempt to
document HRCT/CECT findings in middle ear pathologies
and to categorize these pathology into radiological
diagnosis.
Methods: 40 cases of HRCT temporal bone were studied
which included all age groups and both sexes. The
radiological diagnosis were defined and broadly classified
into infection, neoplastic or radiologically normal.
Results and observation: Among the 40 cases, there were
67.5 percent cases of infections (30% Otomastoiditis: ,
32.5% Cholesteatoma: 5% Mastoiditis: ), 5% of neoplasms
and 27.5% radiologically normal.
Conclusions: HRCT is a non-invasive easily available
investigation for middle and inner ear, best suited for the
preoperative evaluation of temporal bone anatomy and
ossicular chain disruption.
