AbstractGlomus tumours involving the middle ear and the cerebellopontine angle are reported with emphasis on audiological findings. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), angiographic and pathological results are presented. Audiological tests, including impedance audiometry, evoked otoacoustic emissions and auditory brainstem responses, are valuable in evaluation of the effect of glomus tumours on the auditory system as well as their pathological extent.

Middle Ear Mucosa

The use of magnetic resonance imaging in otitis media research is being explored in our laboratory. In this study, we present a new method for studying changes in the middle ear cleft due to an episode of induced otitis media in the chinchilla model. It uses gadolinium-diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid, a magnetic resonance imaging contrast agent, to examine the uptake and washout characteristics of middle ear mucosa during an inflammatory episode. Parameters such as the time to maximum intensity of the mucosa and the washout rate of the contrast agent from the mucosa were significantly correlated to the duration of the infection.

Tegmen Tympani

We report the case of a 43-year-old woman who presented with a spontaneous pneumocephalus, 37 years after a mastoidectomy. Clinical examination showed a cerebrospinal fluid leak, meningeal herniation in the superior part of the middle ear, and an audible noise from her ear when she stood up due to the entrance of air into the cranium. A computed tomography scan and magnetic resonance imaging showed the complete destruction of the tegmen tympani and the pneumocephalus in the temporal lobe. The patient underwent an emergency operation via a double middle-ear and subtemporal approach. The meningoencephalocoele and pneumocephalus were probably due to long term pressure upon too thin a tegmen tympani.Pneumocephalus should be considered as a potential delayed post-operative complication of middle-ear surgery. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging scanning supply accurate information and enable a planned surgical approach; they also allow a pathophysiological understanding and a correlation between the clinical signs and the radiological and peri-operative findings.
