Temporal bone lesions encompass a wide range of pathologies.
Imaging plays a key role in diagnosing temporal bone lesions. High-resolution CT evaluates bone anatomy, detecting destruction, remodeling, calcifications, and congenital anomalies. MRI provides detailed soft-tissue characterization, with T1 identifying hyperintense hemorrhagic, protein or cholesterol signal, T2 highlighting cystic structures, and contrast enhancement revealing vascularity or inflammation. DWI and ADC mapping are essential for identifying cholesteatomas with restricted diffusion and assessing vascularity, hemorrhage, and intracranial spread.
