Management of Inner Ear Malformations (IEM) constitutes a major part of the implant teams’ work at the present time. With the precision of new generation computerized tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), it has been possible to diagnose IEMs more frequently than before. When I was a research scholar in House Ear Institute in 1997, I had the opportunity to increase my knowledge about cochlear implantation and all kinds of ear surgery. In addition, I examined histopathology slides with Prof. Fred Linthicum, M.D. I learnt to examine the temporal bone slides systematically from superior to inferior. One day an important event happened which would have a big impact on my future career. Prof. Antonio De La Cruz, M.D., offered me to go to the Department of Radiology to consult the images of a difficult atresia patient. There, he introduced me to Prof. William W.M. Lo, M.D., who was the radiologist of St Vincent’s Hospital opposite to House Ear Clinic with a special interest in temporal bone radiology. This was at the same time my introduction to radiology of the temporal bone. Prof. Lo was an excellent radiologist. I spent many hours with him. He not only showed me basic temporal bone CT and MRI images but also opened his archive of special cases, and we discussed them in his free time. I owe a lot to this great teacher and I remember him with great respect.
