Histopathological studies of temporal bone fractures reveal a variety of injuries such as complete destruction of the organ of Corti and stria vascularis, loss of hair and ganglion cells, hemorrhage into the cochlear duct, and labyrinthitis ossificans [academic.oup.com]

We present an obscure case of a man who was struck in the ear by a flying fish while wading in the sea with resulting temporal bone fracture, sudden deafness, vertigo, cerebrospinal fluid otorrhoea, and pneumocephalus. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

On the 4th day after trauma, he was noted to have incomplete closure of both eyes and was feeling difficulty with chewing and drooling of saliva. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Referred otalgia 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]

This diagnosis is considered when fluctuating hearing loss and vertigo are present in the near posttraumatic period. A fistula test in the ear canal should not be performed in the acute setting to avoid further trauma or complications. [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 foreign body sensation associated with difficult and painful swallowing. Referred otalgia is common. [emedicine.medscape.com]

We suggest that in patients presenting with facial nerve paralysis secondary to blunt trauma, without an associated temporal bone fracture, high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging is recommended to evaluate internal auditory canal discontinuity of [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The presence of nystagmus is suggestive of vestibular trauma. Examination may reveal a perforated tympanic membrane and/or laceration of the ear canal. If the ear drum is intact, blood may be seen behind it (hemotympanum). [www2.aofoundation.org]

Temporal bone fractures are suggested by Battle sign (postauricular ecchymosis) Bleeding from the ear Bleeding may come from the middle ear (hemotympanum) through a ruptured tympanic membrane or from a fracture line in the ear canal (see Traumatic Perforation [merckmanuals.com]

Temporal bone fracture is suggested by Battle sign (post-auricular ecchymosis) and bleeding from the external auditory canal. [radiopaedia.org]

We present an obscure case of a man who was struck in the ear by a flying fish while wading in the sea with resulting temporal bone fracture, sudden deafness, vertigo, cerebrospinal fluid otorrhoea, and pneumocephalus. [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 neurological manifestations. Temporal bone computed tomography clearly demonstrated the presence of air in the vestibule and cochlea on both sides. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

However the resolution of skull CT be inappropriate for temporal fracture diagnosis, it provides lesion evidences, when there s opacification or close to it, local pneumocephalus, sphenoid sinus opacification, air in the glenoid cavity (2-4-7-8). [arquivosdeorl.org.br]

Brodie and Thompson found a 20% incidence of meningitis with concurrent infection and 3% incidence in the absence of concurrent infection. [32] Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae are the most common infecting organisms. [emedicine.medscape.com]
