Computerized tomographic evaluation of the middle ear and mastoid for posttraumatic hearing loss.

High resolution computerized tomography has been proven valuable in all aspects of temporal bone study. The importance of the procedure in evaluation of traumatic lesions, particularly of the middle ear, has been underemphasized. Damage to the middle ear may occur with blunt trauma, penetrating injury, or barotrauma. Conductive hearing loss and/or CSF otorrhea may result. Detailed evaluation of the ossicles is the hallmark of properly performed computerized tomographic evaluation.

Open mastoid procedures: contemporary indications and surgical technique.

The history of the management of chronic ear disease with and without cholesteatoma is dominated by a canal wall down philosophy. The implication is that such an open procedure insures disease control and an uncomplicated future. In point of fact, problem canal wall down procedures can be fraught with as many serious complications as their more controversial canal wall up counterpart is alleged to propagate. Such problem cavities most commonly result from poor execution of basic technique. The objective of this paper is to identify what constitutes a problem cavity and to describe the authors' techniques to avoid such difficulties. A technique has evolved which not only eradicates disease, but which is self-cleansing and of minimal impact on the patient's lifestyle. The authors' experience with canal wall down procedures is reviewed.
