Cranial Bones: Lateral View

Cranial Bones: Lateral View

The lateral view of the cranium is dominated by temporal, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones.
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...

Background:

Osteomas of the temporal bone are uncommon, slow-growing benign neoplasms.
These tumors can occur in various locations within the temporal bone.

Purpose of the Study:

To retrospectively analyze the clinical presentation, management strategies, and complications of temporal bone osteomas.
To evaluate the efficacy of surgical excision as a treatment modality.

Main Methods:

Retrospective review of 13 patients with radiologically and histopathologically confirmed temporal bone osteomas.
Data collected from January 1999 to January 2017.
Analysis of presenting symptoms, tumor location, treatment decisions, and outcomes.

Main Results:

Common presenting complaints included postauricular swelling, hearing loss, and ear discharge; some cases were asymptomatic.
External auditory canal and mastoid regions were frequently involved.
Ten out of thirteen patients underwent surgical excision, with conservative management for two.

Conclusions:

Osteomas of the temporal bone, though rare, require individualized management based on size, symptoms, and complications.
Surgical excision is confirmed as the primary treatment of choice for symptomatic or complicated temporal bone osteomas.
