In 1907, Gradenigo described the syndrome of constant otorrhea, headache, and diplopia which he attributed to inflammation of the petrous apex. In 1908, Baldenweck described the pathology of petrositis. Renewed interest in this syndrome occurred 20 years later through the papers of Eagleton, Kopetsky and Almour, Frenckner, and Ramadier. Various surgical approaches were described during the 1930's by Eagleton, Frenckner, Ramadier, and on this continent by Lempert. In 1932, Lillie and Williams reported two cases of petrositis from the Mayo Clinic. Stacey Guild in 1935 and John Lindsay in 1938 reported on the pathology of petrositis in post mortem cases. After the advance of chemotherapy, Thornell and Williams in 1946, emphasized the need for adequate surgical drainage. In 1958 DeWeese reported three cases of petrositis with the admonition "Lest we forget that this condition still occurs". The purpose of this paper is to present a case of petrositis and to stress the importance of modern radiological techniques in its diagnosis and management.
1907年，格拉代尼戈描述了持续性耳漏、头痛和复视综合征，他认为这是由于岩尖炎症所致。1908年，巴尔登韦克描述了岩骨炎的病理学。20年后，通过伊格尔顿、科佩茨基和阿尔穆尔、弗伦克纳以及拉马迪尔的论文，人们对该综合征重新产生了兴趣。20世纪30年代，伊格尔顿、弗伦克纳、拉马迪尔以及在美洲大陆的伦珀特描述了各种手术入路。1932年，利利和威廉姆斯报告了梅奥诊所的两例岩骨炎病例。1935年的斯泰西·吉尔德和1938年的约翰·林赛报告了尸检病例中岩骨炎的病理学情况。化疗取得进展后，索内尔和威廉姆斯在1946年强调了充分手术引流的必要性。1958年，德威斯报告了三例岩骨炎病例，并告诫说“以免我们忘记这种情况仍然存在”。本文的目的是介绍一例岩骨炎病例，并强调现代放射学技术在其诊断和治疗中的重要性。
