Fratura traumática do osso temporal : diagnóstico, sequelas e tratamento

Abstract

O temporal é o osso mais duro e complexo do crânio, o que torna a ocorrência de uma fratura um acontecimento muito raro, no entanto apresenta uma importante e variada etiologia traumática (agressões físicas, quedas, acidentes de motociclos, atropelamentos e feridas de armas de fogo). Apesar da sua raridade, na existência de um traumatismo craniano, alerta-se para a importância da exclusão de uma fratura do osso temporal, isto porque a sua complexidade anatómica faz com que lesões como estas se tornem entidades clínicas de importante gravidade funcional e estética em que uma quantidade de estruturas delicadas podem ser lesadas e causar repercussões clínicas debilitantes. Destas destacam-se a hipoacusia de condução ou neurossensorial, a paralisia facial periférica, a disfunção vestibular e a fístula de líquido cefalorraquidiano. Estas dependem do tipo de fratura (orientação, situação e dimensão) e a sua apresentação pode ser imediata ou deferida no tempo. O presente trabalho apresenta o caso de um jovem adulto com uma fratura traumática do osso temporal em contexto de agressão física que desenvolve uma paralisia facial periférica e hipoacusia neurossensorial de instalação progressiva. Contém também uma pequena revisão da literatura sobre as fraturas do osso temporal, seu diagnóstico, principais sequelas e respetivas abordagens terapêuticas.

The temporal bone is the hardest and more complex bone of the skull, which makes the occurrence of a fracture a very rare event however, has a substantial and varied traumatic etiology (assaults, falls, motorcycles accidents, pedestrian accidents and wounds from guns). Despite its rarity, in the existence of a head injury, we alert to the importance of the exclusion of a temporal bone´s fracture, because of its anatomical complexity in which, injuries like these can cause important aesthetics and dysfunction clinical entities in consequence of the quantity of delicate structures that can be damaged. The most important clinical entities are the conduction or sensorineural hearing loss, the peripheral facial palsy, the vestibular dysfunction and the cerebrospinal fluid fistula. These also depend on the type of fracture (orientation, position and size) and its presentation can be immediate or deferred in time.This paper presents the case of a young adult with a traumatic fracture of the temporal bone in the context of physical aggression that develops a peripheral facial palsy and sensorineural hypoacusis with a progressive installation. Also contains a brief review of the literature on the temporal bone fractures, their diagnosis, their main squeals and their therapeutic approaches.
