Abstract
Evaluation of the postoperative temporal bone can be difficult given the complex anatomy of this region and the myriad surgical approaches for management of a variety of conditions. This article provides an understanding of common postsurgical changes of the temporal bone and their typical imaging appearances. Ultimately, greater radiologist knowledge of postoperative temporal bone imaging findings will help to serve patients and referring clinicians with prompt diagnosis and recognition of expected postintervention changes compared with postoperative complications and/or disease recurrence.
