Abstract
CLINICAL/METHODICAL ISSUE: Inflammatory lesions of the petrous portion of the temporal bone are very common and can be followed by cerebral complications.
PRACTICAL RECOMMENDATIONS: Thin layer computed tomography (CT) is useful for detecting bony changes of the temporal bone and contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (CE MRI) is a sensitive method for detecting cerebral complications.
