title: [Modern tomographic procedures in the diagnosis of petrous bone processes].
abstract: This report reviews high resolution computed tomography of the petrous bone. The findings in acoustic neurinoma, paraganglioma and cholesteatoma are described with special regard to their differential diagnosis. Although in preoperative strategy the main focus is on computed tomography because of its exact delineation of bony structures, the article also focuses on the findings in Magnetic Resonance Imaging.
