The information of the preoperative HRCT scanning of the middle ear cavity in cholesteatoma combined with the preoperative audiologic assessment could be informed the intraoperative middle ear finding in the patients who were diagnosed with chronic otitis media with cholesteatoma, which influence the plan of surgical management. Whether these preoperative assessments can predict the intraoperative finding is unclear. The aim of this study is to assess the accuracy of preoperative HRCT of the temporal bone combined with the preoperative audiologic assessment compared with the intraoperative endoscopic middle ear finding.
