    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Pediatric Traumatology
    • Neurosurgery

    Background:

    • Temporal bone fractures in children are uncommon but can lead to significant complications.
    • Accurate diagnosis and appropriate management are crucial for optimal outcomes.
    • Previous literature on pediatric temporal bone fractures is limited.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the diagnosis and management of temporal bone fractures in children.
    • To analyze a cohort of 50 pediatric cases.
    • To identify factors influencing outcomes and long-term sequelae.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 50 children treated for temporal bone fractures over 40 months.
    • Classification of fractures into longitudinal and transverse types.

  • Analysis of demographic data, injury mechanisms, clinical presentation, and management strategies.

    • Main Results:

    • Fracture types, age distribution, sex, and causes were documented.
    • Incidence of loss of consciousness, CSF otorrhea, hearing loss, and facial nerve involvement were recorded.
    • Permanent tympanic membrane perforations and hearing loss were assessed.
    • All patients with transverse fractures experienced total, permanent hearing loss.

    Conclusions:

    • Conservative management is often successful for pediatric temporal bone fractures.
    • Transverse fractures carry a high risk of permanent, total hearing loss.
    • Early diagnosis and monitoring are essential for managing potential complications.
