Hearing loss in skull fractures.

K J Momose, K R Davis, J T Rhea

    AJNR. American Journal of Neuroradiology
    |May 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary

    Skull fractures impacting the temporal bone can cause various hearing losses. While fracture type often explains conductive and peripheral sensorineural hearing loss, central sensorineural hearing loss causes remain less clear.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Neurology
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Head trauma, particularly skull fractures involving the temporal bone, is a significant cause of hearing impairment.
    • Understanding the relationship between fracture patterns and auditory deficits is crucial for effective patient management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review cases of temporal bone fractures and analyze the types of hearing loss observed.
    • To correlate specific fracture types with different categories of hearing loss.
    • To investigate the challenges in identifying the cause of central sensorineural hearing loss from imaging.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 103 patients with skull fractures around the temporal bone.
    • Analysis of audiological outcomes and correlation with imaging studies, including skull series, computed tomographic (CT) head scans, and polytomography of the temporal bone.

    Main Results:

    • Hearing loss in head trauma was categorized into conductive, peripheral sensorineural, central sensorineural, and combined types.
    • The etiology of conductive and peripheral sensorineural hearing loss was frequently identifiable based on the temporal bone fracture pattern.
    • Correlation between central sensorineural hearing loss and brain lesions visualized on CT scans proved more challenging.

    Conclusions:

    • Temporal bone fracture characteristics are valuable in diagnosing the cause of conductive and peripheral sensorineural hearing loss.
    • Further investigation is needed to elucidate the mechanisms and imaging correlations for central sensorineural hearing loss following head trauma.
