AbstractThe petrous apex may be affected by a range of lesions, commonly encountered as incidental and asymptomatic findings on imaging performed for other clinical reasons. Symptoms associated with petrous apex lesions commonly relate to mass effect and/or direct involvement of closely adjacent structures. Petrous apex lesions are optimally assessed using a combination of high-resolution CT and MRI of the skull base. Management of petrous apex lesions varies widely, reflecting the range of possible pathologies, with imaging playing a key role, including lesion characterization, surveillance, surgical planning, and oncological contouring.Crown Copyright © 2021.
