title: BIPP induced artefacts on computerized tomography.
abstract: A case of BIPP induced artefacts on computerized tomography (CT) is presented. Because of the value of CT as a non-invasive intra-cranial investigation, the use of radio-opaque materials in the site to be investigated is to be avoided. In cases likely to require the use of CT, a substitute for BIPP packs in ear surgery is now required.
