Description

The introduction of CT scan and, more recently, magnetic resonance imaging, has radically changed the diagnostic approach to tumors developed in the internal auditory canal and cerebellopontine angle. CT scan with intravenous injection visualizes tumors lying in the cerebellopontine angle. Magnetic resonance imaging, especially using gadolinium, is a very accurate means for diagnosing tumors of both the auditory canal and cerebellopontine angle

Abstract (French)

Le diagnostic des tumeurs du conduit auditif interne a ete transforme par la tomodensitometrie et, plus recemment, par l'imagerie en resonance magnetique. La tomodensitometrie avec injection permet le diagnostic des tumeurs dans l'angle. L'imagerie en resonance magnetique, surtout avec gadolinium, permet un diagnostic tres precis des tumeurs intracanalaires et aussi des processus developpes dans l'angle
