ABSTRACT
Trauma to temporal bone is common in head injury. The causes of temporal bone trauma are traffic accident, falling down injury, assault and gunshot etc. The main symptoms and signs of temporal bone trauma are facial nerve paralysis, hearing loss, vertigo and cerebrospinal fluid leakage. To avoid or minimize the complication, the physicians have to perform precise diagnosis. The tools of diagnosis include the history and physical examination, radiologic examination, audiologic examination, vestibular function test and electrodiagnostic methods for facial nerve. The physicians have to decide the early proper intervention, for example surgery or medication, for the patients suffered from acute facial palsy, dizziness and cerebrospinal fluid leakage. In this study, the authors have reviewed the pathophysiology, classification, symptom, diagnosis and treatment of the temporal bone trauma.
