Fractures of the Temporal Bone and Associated Middle and Inner Ear Trauma

More young adults are now killed and injured from automobile accidents than from any other cause. No longer is disease or war the greatest threat to life. Of these injuries, more than 75% are head injuries. 'In severe head injury, the ear is the most frequently injured sensory organ in the body' (Hough & Stuart 1968). Temporal bone fractures or basilar skull fractures are extremely common in any injury to the head. Since the temporal bone is the domain of the otologist, it is his responsibility to help prevent and treat these devastating injuries.
