  • Title: Anomalous vessel in the middle ear: the role of CT and MR angiography.
    Author: Caldas JG, Iffenecker C, Attal P, Lasjaunias P, Doyon D.
    Journal: Neuroradiology; 1998 Nov; 40(11):748-51. PubMed ID: 9860127.
    Abstract:
    An 8-year-old child was examined because of conductive hearing loss with a retrotympanic mass on otoscopy. CT and MR angiography showed a large inferior tympanic artery traversing the hypotympanum and joining a thin, irregular internal carotid artery with a normal middle meningeal artery. These investigations, coupled with knowledge of the embryological development allowed a diagnosis of a complex vascular anomaly in the middle ear and avoided potential surgical complications.
