Abstract
MRI is best for evaluation of inner ear pathology, particularly sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). High‐resolution 3D MR cisternographic sequences provide an excellent screening examination for patients with SNHL. These thin‐section (<1mm) T2‐weighted MR sequences (SPACE, FIESTA, etc.) in the axial and coronal planes can help identify mass lesions of the internal auditory canal (IAC), particularly a vestibular schwannoma. CSOM patients who are planned for surgical management underwent HRCT TEMORAL BONE SCAN before surgery. Intra operative findings of middle ear cleft in such patients was noted and compared with the pre‐operative HRCT TEMPORAL BONE scan findings. HRCT temporal bone scan will compliment the clinical assessment of the patients in diagnosis and surgical management of the same.
