| Abstract |
The authors describe a case of histiocytosis X of the petrous bone presenting as petrous apex syndrome. The clinical, radiological, and histopathological features are discussed, and the pertinent literature is reviewed. To our knowledge, histiocytosis X of the petrous apex has previously been reported to cause this syndrome in only two cases. |
