    Abstract:
    High resolution CT (HR-CT) scanning of the temporal bone was performed in three patients with a fully expressed mandibulofacial dysostosis for preoperative assessment of temporal bone abnormalities. The external auditory canal was absent in five of six ears. Scans revealed a dysplastic middle ear cleft with dysplastic and partly dislocated ossicles. The ossicles were absent in two temporal bones. In no patient was the mastoid bone pneumatised. The inner ear was affected in only one patient in whom a shortening of the lateral semicircular canal could be found bilaterally. The role of HR-CT of the temporal bone as a preoperative diagnostic tool for the assessment of abnormalities of surgical import is discussed.
