High resolution computed tomography has proved to be invaluable in the evaluation of the temporal bone, and demonstrates its bony anatomy in exquisite detail. Furthermore, the role of magnetic resonance imaging, especially with improving high resolution techniques, has continued to expand in the past decade. A thorough understanding of normal temporal bone anatomy is a requisite for accurate radiologic evaluation. The ensuing discussion is an attempt to summarize the normal temporal bone anatomy with emphasis on clinically relevant structures, temporal bone pneumatization, and common anatomic variants.

Middle ear infections and ossicular disorders can cause conductive hearing loss. Ossicular disorders include fibrous unions in which scar tissue replaces the long process of the incus; disarticulations caused by previous surgical procedures or cholesteatomas; fixation from otosclerosis, cholesteatomas, or congenital malformations; and dislocations caused by trauma. Surgical reconstruction procedures, with the insertion of partial or total ossicular replacement prostheses, help restore conductive hearing. Patients who undergo these delicate procedures have significant hearing deficits and require sensitive, skilled perioperative nursing care.
