Abstract
Four patients with cholesteatoma were shown to have a large area of eroded tegmen tympani on computed tomography (CT). Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the coronal and sagittal plane showed temporal lobe herniation in three cases and cholesteatoma with abscess elevating the dura in one case. In the patient with a cholesteatoma and an eroded tegmen tympani on CT, MRI is indicated to rule out brain herniation into the middle ear.Entities:
