Panoramic zonography in ear radiography.

Thirty ears in 15 patients were examined by plain film radiography and by panoramic zonography with two tracks: A cylindrical concave image layer with 26 mm. radius and a paired sagittal image layer, at 51 mm. distance from midline. The films were interpreted according to the visibility of 23 different anatomic details. On panoramic films the visualization was better in 14 details, equal in 6 and worse in 3 compared to the plain films. The result suggests that panoramic techniques can replace conventional radiography of the ear.

Diagnosis and surgery of acoustic tumours.

In the diagnosis of acoustic neuromata the stapedial reflex test, the forward vs reverse Békésy test, the loudness balance test, and the adaptation test have all been found superior among the special tests used in predicting a tumour diagnosis. Conventional X-ray studies of the internal acoustic meati are always performed, followed by tomograms and in suspected cases by meatocisternography. In the present series translabyrinthine total removal was performed in 21 cases, a planned decompression in 5, while in 2 the removal was subtotal. Only two permanent facial paralyses arose, one corrected by masseteric plasty and the other by facial-hypoglossal lateral perceptive hearing impairment as being caused by a tumour until proven otherwise.
