Discussion

Cross-sectional analysis shows HRCT's 90.1% accuracy in cholesteatoma detection, suggesting it is reliable for preoperative evaluation.

HRCT achieved an overall diagnostic accuracy of 90.1%, confirming its efficacy in cholesteatoma detection.
Sensitivity was found to be 90.2%, while specificity was 90.9%, indicating high reliability of HRCT results.
This cross-sectional analysis included 147 patients, all undergoing HRCT followed by histopathological confirmation.
Findings suggest HRCT is highly accurate, although histopathology remains crucial for detecting atypical cholesteatoma lesions.
