“…Third, among the 14 patients who followed up and had no radiographically evident otic capsule disruption, the magnitude of conductive loss was similar to the three patients with known otic capsule disruption, and also with previously reported values in the literature for traumatic dissociation of the ossicles 12. If indeed patients with ossicular chain disruption are being missed for treatment, it would represent a significant problem as temporal bone injuries have been demonstrated to have significant detrimental effects on functional status and quality of life 1314…”

“…12 If indeed patients with ossicular chain disruption are being missed for treatment, it would represent a significant problem as temporal bone injuries have been demonstrated to have significant detrimental effects on functional status and quality of life. 13,14 Our study was not able to show that any particular system of characterizing temporal bone fractures is predictive of long-term hearing loss. However, longitudinal fractures were more frequently associated with ossicular chain disruption (p < 0.01) than oblique or mixed-type fractures.…”

“…It is reported that 9%–20 % of temporal bone fractures are bilateral [ 3 ]. The facial nerve is affected in 7–10 % of temporal bone fractures [ 2 ].…”

“…Treatment protocols are generally based on onset of facial weakness (immediate or delayed) and extent of facial weakness [ 2 ]. Facial nerve surgery is indicated in the event of a combination of clinical findings (immediate complete facial paralysis), tomodensitometric findings (facial canal injury), and electrophysiological factors (denervation greater than 90 %) [ 3 ].In case of incomplete paralysis and presence of voluntary polyphasic reinnervation potentials on EMG, a conservative approach can be adopted using steroids and eye care [ 2 , 7 ].…”

“…There are several complications associated with temporal bone fracture, including hearing loss, facial nerve paralysis [10], and cerebrospinal fluid otorrhea [1]; hearing loss is among the most commonly encountered symptoms of temporal bone fracture [11]. …”
