This radiologic study analyzed high resolution computed tomographic (CT) scans of 22 patients with temporal bone fractures. There were 19 males and three females. Fifteen of 22 had clinical evidence of facial nerve injury ranging from mild paresis to complete paralysis. The high resolution CT scan a
In seven patients with temporal bone fractures examined by both CT and MRI, thin section CT proved superior to MRI in demonstrating the full extent of the fractures and the status of the ossicular chain. MR studies were able to demonstrate fractures, when these fractures contained blood or CSF, and
