PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: Learn pearls of reading temporal bone images and apply that knowledge to improve your surgical outcomes. This panel starts with pointers on how to consistently evaluate temporal bone CTs and lateral skull base MRIs. A checklist is provided for you to apply that systematic approach in your own practice. Next, examples of how to translate mastoid and middle ear anatomy from the images to the OR will be shown with tips for safe, efficient surgery. Finally, the panelists will discuss and debate how they use imaging to choose a surgical approach and how that imaging can affect what they do in the OR. Topics will include when imaging for chronic ear disease/cholesteatoma, applying endoscopic ear techniques to improve intraoperative disease detection, transmastoid verses middle fossa approaches for SSCD and CSF leaks, diagnosis of skull base meningiomas, and considerations when assessing jugular foramen pathologies. Didactic presentations will be supplemented with case examples to provide tips relevant for everyone from trainees to experienced neurotologists. Improve your radiographic interpretation of the temporal bone and improve your surgical outcomes.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Develop a systematic approach for interpreting temporal bone CTs and MRIs.
  2. Translate temporal bone anatomy seen on imaging to what you see during ear surgery.
  3. Implement the best surgical approach to reach the disease while preventing complications.
