✦ Synopsis
Forty-seven patients with 48 nonoperated acoustic neuromas have been studied by computed tomography (CT) with respect to bone changes. CT and conventional X-ray examination of the skull were compared. The importance of using a small collimator, proper selection of the plane of the CT section, and changing of the window level is stressed. CT detects porus changes as accurately as conventional X-ray methods.

A case of megadolichobasilar artery anomaly (MDBA) with expansion of the internal auditory meatus is presented. There was no associated hearing loss and it is postulated that IAM expansion without hearing loss may occur with this anomaly.
