High resolution multi detector computed tomography of temporal bone: our experience in a tertiary care service hospital.

High resolution multi detector computed tomography (HRMDCT) is an excellent tool for evaluation of a variety of congenital and acquired conditions affecting the temporal bones. We describe our experience of HRMDCT of temporal bones of 145 patients in a tertiary care and teaching hospital of Armed Forces Medical Services of India over a period of three and half years. Hearing loss was the most frequent indication for HRMDCT and congenital bilateral profound sensorineural hearing loss for evaluation prior to possible cochlear implant formed the single largest group (62, 42%) among all indications for HRMDCT of temporal bones.

Asymptomatic disseminated cysticercosis.

Cysticercosis is a common problem world wide. However, disseminated cysticercosis is rare. Still rarer is asymptomatic disseminated cysticercosis.

Computed tomographic demonstration of unusual ossification of the falx cerebri: a case report.

Bony metaplasia of the falx cerebri is rare in human being. We describe a case of extensive ossification involving anterior half of the falx cerebri in a 47-year-old male. This was detected incidentally during computed tomographic examination of the brain for an unrelated cause.
