Abstract:
A case of haemorrhage from the external auditory meatus associated with condylar fracture is presented. It is important that haemorrhage from the ear following maxillofacial injuries be investigated thoroughly because displacement of the condyle into the middle cranial fossa also presents in this manner. The patient was treated by intermaxillary fixation and packing of the auditory canal. Packing is not only effective for haemostasis but is also important in preventing subsequent stenosis of the auditory canal.
