Middle ear cancer: a population-based study.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS: Primary carcinoma of the middle ear is a rare clinical entity, best suited for evaluation using a population-based database. The objective of this study was to utilize the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) ... Read more...

Pus and free bone flaps.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECT: The goal of this investigation is to describe the results of a vigorous attempt to preserve contaminated free bone flaps and avoid the problems associated with the traditional and common practice of discarding the flap, administering a ... Read more...

Transcanal endoscopic approach to the sinus tympani: a clinical report.

30 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVES: To investigate the anatomic limitations of the endoscopic transcanal approach to sinus tympani (ST), in particular, how this approach might allow a complete visualization of the ST recesses and to propose a morphologic classification of ... 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).
