Figure 19: Case report 16. 14-year-old boy with fracture of the right temporal bone. Transverse sections of CT scan. The subtle, but diagnostically important findings of trapped air in the soft tissue medial and posterior to temporal bone (arrows) are well displayed in the CT scan (the actual fracture lines are not visible), however, both findings would not be reliably identified by MRI.
