title: [Imaging and pathology of the ear and temporal bone (except for the skull base)].
abstract: Imaging occupies and increasing place in the investigation of pathological processes of the ear and temporal bone. For some of them (malformations, inflammatory conditions and tumours) the authors detail their indications and results. They conclude that imaging has become increasingly necessary in these conditions, and indispensable not only for choosing the method of treatment but also for medico-legal reasons.
