Abstract
Twenty cases of intrapetrous lesions were studied by a 1.5 T magnetic resonance (MR) unit. In all cases, comparisons were made between MR, CT and clinical findings. Our present material included 9 cholesteatomas, 1 cholesterol cyst, 3 primary epidermoid carcinomas, 2 metastatic neoplasms, 1 glomus jugulare tumor and 4 facial neurinomas. Gadolinium was injected in 7 cases and seemed to be the best method for studying the intrapetrous tumors. MR permitted accurate topographic study and assessment of tumoral extension, as well as a ready demonstration of tumor vascularity. The present findings also showed that MR is not capable of defining small bony detail or calcifications.
