Abstract

Hemangiomas of the temporal bone are benign, vascular and are tumors. The diagnosis is in most cases made during the operation because the symptoms are non conclusive. Two cases were recently observed: one simulating a Meniere disease while the tumor was developed close to the jugular bulb and the endolymphatic sac; the second invaded the geniculate area and the petrous apex and was revealed by a progressive facial palsy.
