Temporal bone is one of the strongest bones in the body, housing important blood vessels and nerve structures that pass through it, as well as structures of the middle and inner ear. Trauma to the temporal bone can result in significant morbidity and mortality due to damage to the internal structures. Additionally, high-intensity trauma that can cause damage to such a resilient bone is often associated with various pathologies, particularly intracranial pathologies. Therefore, temporal bone fractures should be approached as polytrauma cases. Motor vehicle accidents, falls, assaults, sports injuries, and gunshot wounds are common causes of temporal bone fractures. Most cases occur in males and are unilateral. Facial nerve injury, hearing loss, cerebrospinal fluid leakage, dizziness, and hemotympanum are potential complications that need to be managed in temporal bone fractures.
