[Abstract] Objective: To study MRI manifestations of glomus tympanicum tumor.Materials and Methods: The manifestations of MRI were analysed retrospectively in 13 patients with glomus tympanicum tumors whom confirmed by the operation and pathology, axial and coronal high resolution MRl (plain scan and enhanced scan) were performed in all of these 13 patients.Results: Glomus tympanicum tumor in middle ear all of 13 cases occurred in the hypotympanum next to promontorium tympani. MRI show iso-or hyperintense mass on T1-weighted images,and hyperintense mass on T2-weighted images. When we increased the signal of T1WI, the tumors were enhanced obviously. The mass sive ranged from 0.4 cm×0.4 cm×0.5 cm to 1.6 cm× 2.0 cm×2.8 cm.Conclusion: It is typically to reveal the features of location,shape,and extent of glomus tympanicum tumors on MRI.
