A 26-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with chronic left ear drainage. He had a history of meningitis when he was a child. Computed tomography (CT) of the temporal bone showed complete obliteration of the otic labyrinth by sclerotic tissue. Based on CT findings, the patient was diagnosed as labyrinthitis ossificans. Computed tomography is an appropriate method of examination for the identification of labyrinthitis ossificans and is of particular importance for the evaluation of patients before cochlear implantation.
一名26岁男性因左耳慢性流脓入住我院。他小时候有过脑膜炎病史。颞骨计算机断层扫描(CT)显示耳迷路被硬化组织完全闭塞。根据CT检查结果,该患者被诊断为骨化性迷路炎。CT是诊断骨化性迷路炎的一种合适检查方法,对于人工耳蜗植入术前评估患者尤为重要。
