Abstract:
Traumatic temporal bone fractures with parapharyngeal emphysema represent a rare clinical entity with potential serious complications. This retrospective case series has taken 3 cases of traumatic temporal bone fractures with parapharyngeal emphysema and has examined their clinical presentation, management, and outcomes. Recognizing warning signs and managing them accordingly is vital to prevent the occurrence of problems such as airway compromise and deep-neck space infections. A multidisciplinary team consisting of otolaryngologists and oral and maxillofacial surgeons should be considered as a vital element in the process of improving the outcome of patients.
