The most common cause of lateral skull base fractures are still road traffic accidents, followed by falls. The radiologic classification into otic capsule-sparing or otic capsule-violating fractures correlates well with an increased risk of injury to the sensitive structures of the middle ear with otic capsule-violating fractures. In case of immediate onset complete facial nerve paralysis, decompression surgery is generally recommended if bony impingement can be demonstrated on high-resolution CT of the temporal bone. For many other facials nerve complications, recent publications have achieved good to excellent facial nerve recovery rates with watchful waiting under conservative treatment with prednisolone administration.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D011239 Prednisolone A glucocorticoid with the general properties of the corticosteroids. It is the drug of choice for all conditions in which routine systemic corticosteroid therapy is indicated, except adrenal deficiency states. Di-Adreson-F,Predate,Predonine,Di Adreson F,DiAdresonF
D005158 Facial Paralysis Severe or complete loss of facial muscle motor function. This condition may result from central or peripheral lesions. Damage to CNS motor pathways from the cerebral cortex to the facial nuclei in the pons leads to facial weakness that generally spares the forehead muscles. FACIAL NERVE DISEASES generally results in generalized hemifacial weakness. NEUROMUSCULAR JUNCTION DISEASES and MUSCULAR DISEASES may also cause facial paralysis or paresis.

D012887 Skull Fractures Fractures of the skull which may result from penetrating or nonpenetrating head injuries or rarely BONE DISEASES (see also FRACTURES, SPONTANEOUS). Skull fractures may be classified by location (e.g., SKULL FRACTURE, BASILAR), radiographic appearance (e.g., linear), or based upon cranial integrity (e.g., SKULL FRACTURE, DEPRESSED).

D013701 Temporal Bone Either of a pair of compound bones forming the lateral (left and right) surfaces and base of the skull which contains the organs of hearing. It is a large bone formed by the fusion of parts: the squamous (the flattened anterior-superior part), the tympanic (the curved anterior-inferior part), the mastoid (the irregular posterior portion), and the petrous (the part at the base of the skull). Stylomastoid Foramen,Bone, Temporal,Temporal Bones
