Magnetic Resonance Imaging
MRI has gained space in medical practice due to its great
benet of better characterization of soft tissues. It is a noninvasive test that is based on the use of nonionizing electromagnetic radiation, where atomic nuclei are exposed to a
large magnetic eld, absorbing and re-emitting electromagnetic waves at specic frequencies. This wealth of emitted
signals generates a lot of information, depending on the
sequence used. In the context of intracranial images, radiofrequency waves stimulate hydrogen ions due to their high
concentration in biological tissue. The signal is predominantly derived from fat and water, with the fat becoming
hyperintense on the T1 sequence and the water on the T2
sequence. Structures that contain calcium or have air inside
are hypointense in both T1 and T2 [13–17].
Regarding otitis media, the use of MRI has some more
specic indications: neurological symptoms in cases with
acute or chronic otitis media, to investigate possible intracranial complications; rule out meningocele when tegmen tim-
pani is found with discontinuity on CT; involvement of the
petrous apex on CT, allowing differentiation of lesions; and
for differential diagnosis with neoplasms, when there is
suspicion.
Another very important use of MRI is in cholestetaoma
evaluation, specically in the non-echoplanar diffusion
weighted (DWI). Temporal bone CT is limited in the evaluation of recidivism in patients undergoing Wall-up tympano-

mastoidectomy or petrosectomy, and the use of MRI-DWI
makes it possible. For this assessment, the test has a sensitivity of 90%, specicity of 100%, positive predictive value of
100%, and negative predictive value of 96%. DWI is based
on the rate of water movement in tissue and, in pathological
cases, is restricted. Thus, cholesteatoma presents with water
restriction in the MRI-DWI [14–17].

It is important to keep in mind how the temporal bone
appears on an MRI and to know how to interpret the changes
when they are present. Findings should be consistent with
the patient’s clinic and previous CT scan. Figures 45.38,
45.39, 45.40, 45.41, 45.42, 45.43, 45.44, 45.45, and 45.46
show some ndings in MRI. Table45.5 summarizes MRI
ndings in chronic otitis media.

Clinical–Radiological Correlation
Medical practice must, imperatively, be guided by a properly
collected clinical history and a complete physical
examination. The request for additional exams, regardless of
whether CT or MRI, should always be guided by prior clinical reasoning, in addition to having the objective of promoting the diagnostic hypothesis. The isolated interpretation of
the exam is not advised.
Below, we will present some cases to better elucidate this
important correlation in daily practice.
Clinical Case 1
Female patient, 17years old, with a history of frequent otitis
in the left ear for 18months, in addition to progressive ipsilateral hearing loss. Otoscopy showed marginal tympanic

perforation in posterior quadrants with signs suggestive of
previous retraction (erosion of the long process of the incus,
timpanoestapedopexy (Fig. 45.47a, b), tympanic remnants
under the promontory) and normal middle ear mucosa on the
left. The tuning fork tests showed Weber lateralizing to the
left and Rinne negative to the left. Examination of the right
ear showed no particularities. Audiometry showing moderate
conductive hearing loss on the left ear (Fig.45.47c). CT scan
of the temporal bones presented a hypopneumatized mastoid, but without opacications (Fig.45.47d–i). Besides, it
was observed incudostapedial disarticulation and ankylosis
of the malleus head.
Clinical Case 2
Male patient, 17years old, had otorrhea in the right ear for
more than 5years, in addition to progressive ipsilateral hearing loss and tinnitus. The otoscopy showed a cholesteatoma,
and it was no longer possible to visualize the ossicular chain.
On the left, intact eardrum with retraction in the posterosuperior quadrant (Fig.45.48a). The tunning fork tests showed
Weber lateralizing to the right and Rinne was negative in
both ears. Audiometry showed moderate conductive loss on
the right and mild on the left (Fig.45.48c). Temporal bone
CT shows a clear difference between the ears (Fig.45.48d–g).
On the right, a hypopneumatized mastoid can be seen, lled
with soft tissue content, in addition to extensive erosion of
the bone spur of Chaussé and the ossicular chain. On the left,
the mastoid is pneumatized and, in the middle ear, a small
concentration of soft tissue tissue, associated with a thickened tympanic membrane, is visualized in the topography of
the incudostapedial joint.
Clinical Case 3
Male patient, 63years old reported progressive hearing loss
and bilateral tinnitus. Worked for many years in noisy environments without using protective equipment. One year ago,
he had a traumatic perforation of the right tympanic membrane. At otoscopy, a wide tympanic perforation in the right
ear with clear identication of the ossicular chain, tympanic
ostium of the Eustachian tube and round window (Fig.45.49a,
b). On the left, there were no signicant changes. Tuning
fork tests Weber lateralizing to the right and Rinne was
positive in both ears. Audiometry showed moderate mixed
hearing loss on the right and a sensorioneural deafness in
