Abstract
One hundred and forty temporal bones of microtic patients were examined by high-resolution CT. In minor microtia auditory canal stenosis and in major microtia atresia was predominant. The middle ear malformation depended on the severity of the auricular dysplasia. There were middle ear cavity anomalies in 90%, ossicle dysplasias in 97% (stapes 70%), oval window absence in 32%, labyrinth malformations in 16%, closed round window in 7%, facial canal displacement in up to 75% and vascular canal aberrations in 22% of microtia grade III. Multiplaner scanning or reformation of 1-mm slices (spinal CT) is necessary for preoperative planning. A neuroradiological score can be obtained.
