Abstract

This section aims to cover the non-traumatic pathologies affecting the temporal bone including external auditory canal, middle ear and inner ear which usually need emergent clinical attention. Many of the conditions in this section are secondary to infections in different clinical settings with resultant complications which may leave temporary or permanent sequelae if not suspected, timely diagnosed or treated.
