Abstract
CT and MRI scanning provide valuable information in determining location and extension of middle ear and mastoid tumors and tumor-like conditions. The bone anatomy depicted by CT better delineates the involvement of the middle ear diseases. In glomus tumors, facial nerve tumors, and other cases including temporal bone metastases, the combination of CT and MR imaging is exceedingly useful in the diagnosis and management of patients.
