Mandibulofacial dysostosis: CT findings of the temporal bones

Six patients of two families with clinically suspected and genetically proven Treacher Collins syndrome and hearing loss were studied by CT of the temporal bone. The objective of this study was to detect the abnormalities and to show the variation of expression of abnormalities. We found a high incidence of asymmetry in the different ear malformations and a slightly lower incidence of some other classical features, probably due to our patient selection.
