High-resolution computed tomography (CT) was used to examine 12 patients with temporal bone trauma. The CT findings were correlated with the clinical signs and symptoms (hearing loss, facial nerve dysfunction) and with the operative findings in the 5 patients who underwent surgery. CT was able to demonstrate ossicular chain disruption or fractures causing the clinical findings in the majority of cases. The CT findings affected patient care by alerting the otologist to the abnormalities likely to be encountered during surgery.
采用高分辨率计算机断层扫描(CT)对12例颞骨外伤患者进行检查。将CT检查结果与临床体征和症状(听力损失、面神经功能障碍)以及5例接受手术患者的手术结果进行对比。在大多数病例中,CT能够显示听骨链中断或骨折,这些情况导致了临床症状。CT检查结果提醒耳科医生注意手术中可能出现的异常情况,从而影响了患者的治疗。
