A Unique Case of Pneumatised Styloid Process with Cholesteatoma
Figure 2
(a) MRI shows that the material in the pneumatised right styloid process is hyperintense on T2-weighted imaging (a), of intermediate signal intensity on fat-suppressed T1-weighted imaging (b), and is markedly hyperintense on PROPELLER (periodically rotated overlapping parallel lines with enhanced reconstruction) diffusion-weighted imaging (c). These signal characteristics are typical of cholesteatoma.
