Temporal bone fracture

The temporal bone is located on both sides of the skull and is a major component of the skull base and lateral wall. The temporal bone contains multiple foramina through which blood vessels and nerves pass, reducing its mechanical strength. When subjected to a strong external force, the weak structures between these foramina often fracture, resulting in a temporal bone fracture. Temporal bone fractures are typically classified into four types based on the relationship between the fracture line and the long axis of the petrous bone: longitudinal fractures, transverse fractures, mixed fractures, and petrous apex fractures. It is more common in males and can manifest as ear bleeding, conductive hearing loss, or mixed hearing loss.
