Summary:

Description
  • Radiopaedia case ID: 88452
  • Image ID: 54792479
  • Image stack position: 13/60
  • Plane projection: Sagittal
  • Aux modality: bone window
  • Modality: CT
  • System: Head & Neck
  • Findings: There is a rather large mass of soft tissue attenuation centered within the bony portion of the left external auditory canal, resulting in significant canal expansion and marked circumferential canal wall erosion with multiple small predominantly peripheral bony fragments. Thinning and destructive changes of the tympanic and mastoid parts of the left temporal bone are noted, with a small amount of retained fluid within the left mastoid air cells. The mass erodes the left scutum, extending into the left middle ear cleft, encasing and slightly eroding the left middle ear ossicular chain, obliterating the left Prussak space, aditus ad antrum and mastoid antrum. Complete obliteration of the facial recess with thinning and erosion of the posterior genu and tympanic segment of the left facial nerve canal, suggestive of facial nerve involvement.
