title: Bilateral osteomas and exostoses of the internal auditory canal.
abstract: Osteomas and exostoses are benign tumors of the bone that occur in the head and neck region but are rarely found within the internal auditory canal (IAC). In this report, we review the literature on bony lesions of the IAC and present two cases: one case of bilateral compressive osteomas and one case of bilateral compressive exostoses of the IAC.
