TEMPORAL BONE ABNORMALITIES IN CONGENITAL NEUROSENSORY DEAFNESS AS REVEALED BY PLESIOSECTIONAL TOMOGRAPHY

Abstract
The ability to determine fine anatomic detail in the temporal bone has been greatly enhanced by the use of plesiosectional tomographs, a method readily available to many radiologists. The appearance of the temporal bone using this method in normal patients is described and changes found in patients with congenital neurosensory deafness are presented. The finding of bone abnormalities in this group has been of value to the otologists and audiologists handling this type problem and has given us considerable information about the roentgenographic appearance of the structure of the middle and inner ear.
