Core Tip	Chronic otitis media is a long-term inflammatory disease affecting the middle ear, which, if not properly managed, can result in both extracranial and intracranial complications. Magnetic resonance imaging is particularly valuable in assessing soft tissue involvement and distinguishing cholesteatomas from other inflammatory conditions, especially through the use of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI). Recently, sensitivity of DWI in the diagnosis of cholestatoma was shown to be 88% and specificity of 96%. Meanwhile, high-resolution computed tomography remains the primary imaging modality for evaluating bony erosion, ossicular chain damage, and mastoid pathology, providing essential details for diagnosis and treatment planning.
