Methods and materials
Our study was retrospective including 36 patients admitted for temporal bone trauma at Habib Thameur Hospital in Tunis,
Tunisia between 2013 and 2014.
A CT was performed for all patients: routine head multidetector CT was performed in patients with polytrauma in emergency for 24 patients whereas dedicated temporal bone multidetector CT was performed in 12 patients that had isolated temporal bone trauma.
High-resolution CT was performed on a 64-section spiral CT scanner (Toshiba Aquilion 64 CT scanner).
The studies were performed with the following parameters: 0.75-mm collimation,
0.5-mm section thickness,
120kVp,
50 mA,
pitch of 0.8,
a 15-cm field of view,
and a 512x512 matrix.
Scans were obtained in the axial and coronal planes with multi-planar reformation and were reviewed by two radiologists.
