External Auditory Canal Fracture Secondary to Mandibular Trauma

Tympanic Plate Fractures in Temporal Bone Trauma: Prevalence and Associated Injuries

“…8 Temporal bone fractures involving the tympanic plate (Figs 1 and 2), however, are under-recognized and have received little attention beyond isolated case reports involving mandibular trauma. [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] The tympanic plate of the temporal bone is a U-shaped structure forming the anterior wall, floor, and part of the posterior wall of the external auditory canal. The limited literature concerning tympanic plate fracture (TPF) suggests that these types of fractures are uncommon.…”

Timing of maxillofacial–oral injuries in an individual of the ancient city of Herculaneum (79 AD, Naples, Italy): a case report

“…On the other hand, in high‐intensity impacts, the impact of the mandibular condyle on the anterior wall of the external auditory canal and/or the posterior dislocation of the condyle can produce laceration of the cartilaginous parts of the external auditory canal, or more rarely, fracture of the tympanic plate, with or without associated condylar fracture . However, in the present case report, the cranial X‐rays exclude lesions to the external auditory meatus.…”

TMJ Herniation Associated With Lymphangioma of the Parotid Region

“…13 Symptoms of tympanic plate fracture include hemorrhage and stenosis of the external auditory meatus that can be associated with hearing loss and limitation of jaw movements. 6,14,15 Iatrogenic causes of temporomandibular joint herniation include otologic surgery. It has been reported in the literature.…”
