We report the imaging features of a case of a temporal bone meningioma extending into the middle ear cavity and clinically presenting as a serous otitis media. Temporal bone meningioma extending in the mastoid or the middle ear cavity, however, is very rare. In case of unexplained or therapy-resistant serous otitis media and a nasopharyngeal tumor being ruled out, a temporal bone computed tomography (CT) should be performed. If CT findings are suggestive of a temporal bone meningioma, a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination with gadolinium will confirm diagnosis and show the exact extension of the lesion.
我们报告了一例颞骨脑膜瘤延伸至中耳腔并临床上表现为浆液性中耳炎的病例的影像学特征。然而，颞骨脑膜瘤延伸至乳突或中耳腔非常罕见。对于原因不明或治疗抵抗的浆液性中耳炎且排除鼻咽部肿瘤的情况，应进行颞骨计算机断层扫描（CT）。如果CT表现提示颞骨脑膜瘤，钆增强磁共振成像（MRI）检查将确诊并显示病变的确切范围。
