High-resolution computed tomography of the middle ear and mastoid. Part II: Tubotympanic disease. 1983

J D Swartz, and R S Goodman, and K B Russell, and F I Marlowe, and R J Wolfson

Of more than 200 patients who underwent high-resolution computed tomography (CT) of the middle ear, the vast majority had tubotympanic disease in one of its forms: middle ear effusion, tympanosclerosis, granulation tissue, tympanic membrane retractions, or acquired cholesteatoma. The CT appearance of each of these conditions is discussed and illustrated. Emphasis is placed on the differential diagnosis of tubotympanic disease by determining dependent from nondependent soft-tissue opacity using two CT projections.
