To review the presentation, types and aetiology of ear trauma and various factors affecting ear trauma in our patients over a 5 year period. All patients treated for ear trauma over a 5 year period were studied using their clinical records. Data extracted were analysed using SPSS version 11 software. The results were presented in simple descriptive and tabular forms. Forty-one patients, 18(43.90%) males and 23(56.10%) females were studied, ages 12-43 years, average 26.3 + 5 years. Blows/Slaps (65.85%) from assault was the commonest aetiology while bleeding from the ear (73.17%), hearing loss (70.73%) and tympanic membrane perforation (68.29%) were the most frequent presentations. Ear trauma is common and mostly affects the tympanic membrane. Sudden increase in canal pressure from blows/slaps was the major mechanism of injury. Management outcome was good except for few late presenters with compilations.
回顾5年期间我院耳部创伤患者的临床表现、类型、病因及影响耳部创伤的各种因素。通过临床记录对5年期间所有接受耳部创伤治疗的患者进行研究。使用SPSS 11版软件对提取的数据进行分析。结果以简单描述和表格形式呈现。共研究了41例患者，其中男性18例（43.90%），女性23例（56.10%），年龄12 - 43岁，平均26.3±5岁。袭击所致的打击/掌掴伤（65.85%）是最常见的病因，而耳部出血（73.17%）、听力损失（70.73%）和鼓膜穿孔（68.29%）是最常见的表现。耳部创伤很常见，主要影响鼓膜。打击/掌掴导致耳道压力突然增加是主要损伤机制。除少数出现并发症的晚期就诊者外，治疗效果良好。
