Computed tomography of glomus tympanicum tumors.
Previously it has been very difficult or impossible for radiologists to delineate accurately the size and extent of glomus tympanicum tumors. By utilizing axial transverse and coronal computed tomography detailed enlargement techniques we have been able to accurately demonstrate four such lesions. We believe that this mode of investigation is now the method of choice for glomus tympanicum tumors.
