Radiology of congenital hearing loss

Otolaryngol Clin North Am. 1994 Jun;27(3):511-31.

Abstract

Thin-section high-resolution computed tomography with "bone algorithm" remains the examination of choice for evaluation of congenital ear malformations. It furnishes the best anatomic detail for planning the surgical approach and avoiding unfortunate intraoperative events secondary to variant courses of vessels and nerves.
