We present a case of novel penetrating temporal bone trauma with a pintail comb causing facial paralysis. We describe a 42-year-old woman with acute facial paralysis, hearing loss, and dizziness following accidental tympanic membrane puncture. The patient underwent middle ear exploration with tympanoplasty and was found to have an intact but severely edematous facial nerve. The patient demonstrated less than 90% degeneration under electroneuronography and was treated medically without decompression, and by 6 months had exhibited complete resolution of facial nerve dysfunction with normal hearing. This case report highlights a unique cause of penetrating temporal bone trauma and supports the utility of electroneuronography in predicting the likelihood of recovery and need for decompression in patients where the facial nerve has obvious signs of trauma but remains grossly intact.

Facial nerve aplasia is an extremely rare condition that is usually syndromic, namely, in Moebius syndrome. The occurrence of isolated agenesis of facial nerve is even rarer, with only few cases reported in the literature. We report a case of congenital facial paralysis due to facial nerve aplasia diagnosed on MRI, while no noticeable abnormality was detected on the temporal bone CT.

<p>Bilateral temporal bone fractures are rare; accounting for 9% to 20% of cases of temporal bone fractures. Clinical manifestations include hearing loss, facial paralysis, CSF otorhinorrhea and dizziness. This is a case report of a patient who presented with bilateral temporal bone fractures. This is a report of a 23-yr-old male who sustained bilateral temporal bone fractures and presented 18 days later with complaints of watery discharge from left ear and nose, bilateral profound hearing loss and facial weakness on the right side. Pure tone audiometry revealed bilateral profound sensori-neural hearing loss. CT temporal bones &amp; MRI scans of brain were done to assess the extent of injuries. The patient underwent left CSF otorrhea repair, as the CSF leak was active and not responding to conservative management. One week later, the patient underwent right facial nerve decompression. The patient could not afford a cochlear implant (CI) in the right ear at the same sitting, however, implantation was advised as soon as possible because of the risk of cochlear ossification. The transcochlear approach was used to seal the CSF leak from the oval and round windows on the left side. The facial nerve was decompressed on the right side. The House-Brackmann grade improved from Grade V to grade III at last follow-up. Patients with bilateral temporal bone fractures require prompt assessment and management to decrease the risk of complications such as meningitis, permanent facial paralysis or hearing loss. </p>
