Cases were identified from radiology and surgical databases. Two observers analysed three-dimensional T \u00a02W temporal bone and whole brain imaging according to a priori criteria by consensus, with emphasis on the relationship of any adjacent cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) cleft to the defect. The contents, location, and clinical features of the LTBCs were recorded.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Eighteen patients (11 female, 7 male; mean age 59.3 years, age range 42\u201386 years) with 20 surgically confirmed spontaneous LTBCs (2 bilateral;16 unilateral) were evaluated. A temporal lobe sulcus or other CSF cleft extending to or traversing the defect was identified in 19\/20 (95%) cases. Isointense CSF tympanomastoid signal was present in 41.2% cases, whilst superior semi-circular canal dehiscence was found in 40% of cephaloceles. At least two MRI features of idiopathic intracranial hypertension were seen in 38.9% patients. Cephaloceles were most commonly centred on the tegmen tympani (55%). Meningoencephaloceles were present in 95% cases.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>A temporal lobe sulcus or CSF cleft extending to or traversing the defect may aid the identification of LTBCs.
