Mastoids and Organs of Hearing Fall 2011 FINAL
Temporal Bones • Situated on each side of cranial base between ____________and occipital bone • Form large part of ______ cranial fossa and a small part of ________ cranial fossa
Temporal Bones • Consist of • Squamous portion • Tympanic portion • Styloid process • Zygomatic process • Petromastoid portion a) contains the organs for ___________________
Temporal Bones • Tympanic portion = located below squama and in front of petromastoid portion • Forms anterior wall, inferior wall and part of posterior walls of the EAM • Styloid process = slender, pointed bone projecting inferiorly, anteriorly, and slightly medially from inferior surface of tympanic portion
Temporal Bones • Petromastoid portion combines petrous and mastoid portions • Forms the inferior, posterior part of the temporal bone • Articulates with parietal bone at its superior border and with occipital bone at its posterior border • Usually contains air cells, which vary greatly in size, number, and pneumatization
Temporal Bones • Mastoid process = conical process projecting from mastoid portion • Petrous portion projects medially and anteriorly between greater wing of sphenoid and occipital bone • Also called petrous pyramid • Conical or pyramidal in shape • Thickest and densest portion of cranium • Contains the organs of hearing and balance
Temporal Bones • Auditory ossicles = bones of middle ear 1. 2. 3. • Temporal bone articulates with the parietal, occipital, sphenoid, zygoma, and mandible
Temporal Bone Pathology • Mastoiditis • Neoplasms • Acoustic neuroma • Cholesteatoma • Polyp • Otosclerosis
Essential Projections: Temporal Bone • Axiolateral oblique (Modified Law) • Axiolateral oblique (Stenvers) • Axiolateral oblique (Arcelin)
Axiolateral Oblique (Modified Law) • IOML ______with IR • IPL _________ to IR • MSP angled 15 degrees toward IR
Axiolateral Oblique (Modified Law) • CR • Angled 15 degrees caudad to midpoint of IR • Exits mastoid tip closer to IR about 1 (2.5 cm) posterior to EAM • Enters 2 (5 cm) posterior to and superior to upper EAM
Axiolateral Oblique Temporal Bone (Modified Law) • Mastoid process closer to IR • Air cells centered to IR • Opposite mastoid process inferior and anterior mastoid of interest • Auricle of ear not superimposing mastoid • Superimposition of IAM and EAM • TMJ visible anterior to mastoid process • Close beam restriction
Axiolateral Oblique (Stenvers) • IOML ________with transverse axis of IR • MSP at ________angle from IR
Axiolateral Oblique (Stenvers) • CR • Angled 12 degrees cephalad • Enters about 3 to 4 (7.6 to 10 cm) posterior and ½ (1.3 cm) inferior to upside EAM • Exits 1 (2.5 cm) anterior to downside EAM • IR and CR centered
Axiolateral Oblique Temporal Bone (Stenvers) • Petromastoid portion in profile • Lateral border of skull to lateral border of orbit • Petrous ridge extended to a point about two thirds up lateral border of orbit Mastoid process in profile below cranium • Posterior margin of mandibular ramus superimposing lateral border of C-spine • Mandibular condyle projecting over atlas near petrosa • Close beam restriction
Axiolateral Oblique Temporal Bone (Arcelin) • Rotate face away from side of interest to place MSP at 45-degree angle with plane of IR • IOML perpendicular to IR
Axiolateral Oblique Temporal Bone (Arcelin) • CR • Angled 10 degrees caudad • Enters temporal area at 1 (2.5 cm) anterior to EAM and ¾ (1.9) cm above it • Center IR and CR
Axiolateral Oblique Temporal Bone (Arcelin) • Petromastoid portion in profile • Lateral border of skull to lateral border of orbit • Petrous ridge lying horizontal about two thirds up lateral border of orbit Mastoid process in profile below cranium • Posterior margin of mandibular ramus superimposing lateral border of C-spine • Mandibular condyle projecting over atlas near petrosa • Close beam restriction
