Managing malignancies of the external auditory canal.

30 Aug 2009 The ear canal, middle ear and temporal bone are rare sites of primary cancer. However, given its central location within the skull base, the tumors from these sites often extend to involve the parotid, overlying skin and even the dura or carotid ... Read more...

Petrous apex.

30 Jul 2009 The petrous apex is the most medial portion of the temporal bone that cannot be directly examined on clinical examination. The referring physician completely relies on imaging and radiologic interpretation. Unfortunately, the petrous apex displays ... Read more...

Imaging of temporal bone tumors.

30 Jul 2009 Tumoral lesions of the temporal bone are relatively rare. Cross-sectional imaging plays an important role in the description of extension of these lesions. In certain lesions, imaging characteristics are rather specific, giving a clue to diagnosis. ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Temporal Bone'

Definition: Either of a pair of compound bones forming the lateral (left and right) surfaces and base of the skull which contains the organs of hearing. It is a large bone formed by the fusion of parts: the squamous (the flattened anterior-superior part), the tympanic (the curved anterior-inferior part), the mastoid (the irregular posterior portion), and the petrous (the part at the base of the skull).
