| Abstract | To evaluate role of HRCT in detecting and diagnosing the pathologies and congenital anomalies of the temporal bone. The prospective study was conducted on 40 patients with suspected temporal bone pathologies on Bright Speed Elite 16 CT scanner in the department of Radio-Diagnosis and Imaging in Acharya Shri Chander College of Medical Sciences and Hospital, Sidhra Jammu. Imaging findings were correlated with surgical findings where ever applicable. Temporal bone pathologies were more common in males (65%) with 67.5% in age group 20 to 40 years. Most common temporal bone pathologies were infections (60%), trauma (17.5%) followed by tumours (12.5%). Infection of middle ear was most common pathology encountered 60% in which ossicular erosion was most common (37.5%). Most common inflammatory pathology was cholesteatoma (54.2%) followed by mastoiditis (25%). Peak incidence of trauma was seen in young (20 to 30yrs) males (85.7%) with squamous part being involved in 100% followed by petrous (85.7%) and mastoid part (57.1%). Tumours was third common pathology with 80% of subjects in the age group 40 to 80 yrs Acoustic neuroma was most common (40%) followed by meningioma (20%). HRCT outweighs the conventional modalities of investigations and provides higher spatial resolution and better soft tissue contrast for evaluation of Temporal Bone lesions. |
