Long‐Term Outcomes of Adult Temporal Bone Fractures With Hearing Loss: Results of a Multinational Database Analysis

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This study uses a large multinational database to examine long‐term outcomes of adult temporal bone fractures. The risk for meningitis, labyrinthitis, facial nerve disorders, and cerebrospinal fluid leaks was elevated after fracture. Cochlear implantation was also more likely after temporal bone fracture.
