| Popis: | Twenty-seven temporal bone fractures in 25 pediatric patients were evaluated over a 6-year period. The diagnosis was confirmed with otoscopy and high-resolution computed tomography scans (HRCT). Three-dimensional reconstruction of high-resolution computed tomography scans were used to aid in the diagnosis. The most common fracture was an oblique fracture which is oriented in an axial or horizontal plane with the temporal bone. Facial nerve paralysis was found in 6 of our patients, which is less than the expected incidence when compared to adults. Hearing loss was found in 24 patients, the most common of which was conductive hearing loss, which had a higher incidence than expected when compared with adults. |
