  • Title: Computed tomography of the middle ear in the evaluation of cholesteatomas and other soft-tissue masses: comparison with pluridirectional tomography.
    Author: Mafee MF, Kumar A, Yannias DA, Valvassori GE, Applebaum EL.
    Journal: Radiology; 1983 Aug; 148(2):465-72. PubMed ID: 6867344.
    Abstract:
    Computed tomographic (CT) scans and tomograms of 60 patients with various soft-tissue masses of the middle ear, including 30 with cholesteatomas, were studied. CT produced excellent images of middle ear soft-tissue masses and appears to be the diagnostic method of choice for cholesteatomas, glomus tympanicum tumors, and other soft-tissue masses. In one patient CT demonstrated pneumolabyrinth resulting from postsurgical fracture of the footplate of the stapes. Pneumolabyrinth is a newly reported CT finding in stapes footplate fracture.
