Simplified plain film screening examination for erosive otitis media

A simplified plain film examination for erosive otitis media was evaluated in 202 ears. In most of the operated cases (86.5%), a perorbital anteroposterior and an oblique lateral were sufficiency for diagnosis. Considerable attention should be paid to the configuration of the attic-antrum area, and in particular the presence or absence of Körner's septum (the petrosquamous suture).
