petrous apex lesions of temporal bone progress slowly. most of the time not only destruct this area but also involve neighbouring element. the symptoms of the neighbouring neuro-vasculare involvement we can recognize these lesions. the most common symptoms of involvement of the petrous apex are: headache, conductive hearing loss or sensorineural type, paresthesia and anesthesia of the trigemina...

HYPOTHESIS An inexpensive temporal bone model for use in a temporal bone dissection laboratory setting can be made using a commercially available, consumer-grade 3D printer. BACKGROUND Several models for a simulated temporal bone have been described but use commercial-grade printers and materials to produce these models. The goal of this project was to produce a plastic simulated temporal bon...

PURPOSE To review the CT and MR characteristics of temporal bone malignancy, and to evaluate the relationship between malignancies of the temporal bone and parotid gland. METHODS A group of 15 surgical patients with diagnosis of temporal bone malignancy were retrospectively reviewed. These included 11 cases of primary temporal bone malignancy and four cases of secondary carcinoma of the tempo...

Abstract Temporal-bone (TB) experiments are useful for the investigation of middle-ear and inner-ear transfer properties, analysis development active or passive middleear prostheses related devices. To acquire mechanical (ME) response, Laser-Doppler vibrometry (LDV) is utilized as a preferred method. In most setups, exact measurement point chosen on biological structure interest well direction ...
