A Clear View of the neglected Mastoid Aditus


GCC Burger

Abstract

The aditus is the central link between the attic and the mastoid antrum. Its patency determines the course of middle ear infections. By placing the head with the aditus vertical to the casette an X-ray tomographic cross-section of the aditus can be produced, which also allows the integrity of the middle fossa floor to be judged with more accuracy than has been possible in the past.
