Abstract

The force required to fracture the temporal bone is substantial and can lead to vascular injury, hearing loss, vertigo or imbalance, facial nerve injury, and cerebral spinal fluid leaks. Various classification schemes have been proposed, with those identifying critical structures being more useful. CT remains the imaging modality of choice. Hearing loss remains the most common complication while facial nerve paralysis continues to be one of the most dreaded consequences. This chapter discusses the epidemiology of temporal bone trauma, the pathophysiology as well as complications, and current recommendations in management.
