title: [Contribution of magnetic resonance imaging in the evaluation of chronic otitis].
abstract: Thirty four patients with a chronic otitis were evaluated prospectively by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to delineate its contribution in the diagnosis of middle ear masses. The results were correlated to the CT and the surgical and pathological findings. MRI permitted to differentiate the inflammatory tissues from either cholesteatoma, cholesterol granuloma and cerebromeningeal hernia.
