Referredotalgia is common. Traumatic fracture of an ossified styloid and stylohyoid ligament can cause pressure on the external or internal carotid artery and pain may be referred to the cheek or eye, producing atypical pain.[emedicine.medscape.com]
It is suspected by a pulsatile or nonpulsatile exophthalmus, chemosis, and a bruit detected in the affected area. [30, 42] Sigmoid sinus thrombosis This condition occurs but is rare. Sigmoid sinus thrombosis is usually aseptic and nonsymptomatic.[emedicine.medscape.com]
It consists of pain in the throat with foreignbodysensation associated with difficult and painful swallowing. Referred otalgia is common.[emedicine.medscape.com]
The pilot electrode was withdrawn and the CI was inserted uneventfully. The right ear was implanted that also demonstrated bony callus and fibrosis along the cochlear basal turn requiring an extended cochleostomy.[omicsgroup.org]
The patient returned within 6 hours with sudden unilateral neckswelling and stridor after blowing his nose. Flexible nasendoscopy and computed tomography showed extrinsic compression of the pharynx, with partial upper airway obstruction.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
In both benign paroxysmal positional vertigo and central postural vertigo, the spontaneous nystagmus and vertigo usually resolve over 3-6 months and the remaining symptoms by 10-12 months; however, these symptoms may persist in elderly patients.[emedicine.medscape.com]

Sensorineural hearing loss /- vertigo after a temporal bone fracture implies traumatic audio/vestibular failure. The vertigo generally improves as the brain adapts, but hearing loss is likely to be persistent.[entsho.com]
All patients complained of hearing loss and dizziness. Hearing in most patients (83.3%) did not improve, whereas dizziness improved in 91.7% of patients.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
He complained of non-whirling type dizziness and right sided hearing impairment. Computed dynamic postulography showed a vestibular pattern; however, nystagmus was absent.[austinpublishinggroup.com]
Complications evaluated included facial nerve paresis or paralysis, SNHL, CHL, dizziness or balance dysfunction, and CSF leakage. The diagnosis of dizziness or balance dysfunction was made on patient self-reporting.[jamanetwork.com]
A 49-year-old man presented with sudden, bilateral deafness and whirling vertigo, without any other neurologicalmanifestations. Temporal bone computed tomography clearly demonstrated the presence of air in the vestibule and cochlea on both sides.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Epidemiology Longitudinal fractures represent the majority (70-90%) of all petrous temporal bone fractures . Periauricular swelling and retroauricular ecchymosis ( Battle sign ) are common, and almost all have otorrhagia .[radiopaedia.org]
Variables included type and severity of hearing loss, as well as pathophysiology of hearing loss. RESULTS: There were 13 studies with 773 patients that met study criteria.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Abstract Traumatic injury to the temporal bone can lead to significant morbidity or mortality and knowledge of the pertinent anatomy, pathophysiology of injury, and appropriate management strategies is critical for successful recovery and rehabilitation[thieme-connect.com]

A combination of both central and peripheral causes are highly possible in the pathophysiology of vertigo after head and temporal bone trauma. Vestibular rehabilitation or canal repositioning may be of value, in particular in BPPV.[emedicine.medscape.com]
