Schuler described the first view to visualize pathologic
lesions
The helical (or spiral) CT allows for continuous rotation of
gantry and thus, continuous acquisition of images.

MATERIALS AND METHOD
Prospective study with total of 50 cases of COM
Comparing and evaluating pathological variations with
intraoperative findings
MATERIAL AND METHODS
Aim was:
To study the radiological findings of the temporal bone in patients with
COM with and without cholesteatoma
Extent and sites of involvement of the middle ear and the mastoid air
cell system in these patients
Inter-relationships of the tympanomastoid compartment with the
adjacent, critical and important neurovascular structures
To evaluate the results and compare data with similarly published
studies.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
All the HRCT scans were performed on the high speed dual
slice fast CT machines. Patients were scanned in axial and
coronal (supine and prone) axes.
All the patients underwent mastiodectomy by a post-aural
approach
Results
HRCT
scutum erosion, ossicular erosion, tegmen tympani erosion and
mastoid pneumatisation, low lying dura, posterior fossa dural plate
anterior lying sigmoid, erosion
Korners septum, cholesteatoma
extension in the middle ear and mastoid
and presence of complications and
intracranial complications with a P < 0.05

Conclusions
HRCT can be recommended not only in cases
suspected with potential complications but also in all cases of
COM to know the extent of disease, varied pneumatization
and the presence of anatomical variations, which should alert
the clinician and guide in surgical approach and treatment
plan.
HRCT is highly reliable and findings are in par with intraoperative findings in this study
