Tympanic plate fractures are uncommon injuries and carry the risk of external auditory canal stenosis. These injuries are often associated with fractures of adjacent bones like the mandible, maxilla, and temporal bone. Isolated bilateral tympanic bone fractures have rarely been reported. The most frequently advocated treatment for these injuries is surgical to prevent canal stenosis in the future. The effectiveness of non-operative management has been seldom reported. In the current case report, we present an uncommon injury with isolated bilateral tympanic plate fractures secondary to trauma to the mandible with no associated mandible or condylar fractures that were treated non-operatively. The functional outcomes were favorable at one year of follow-up.
鼓膜板骨折是一种罕见的损伤，存在外耳道狭窄的风险。这些损伤常与相邻骨骼如下颌骨、上颌骨和颞骨的骨折相关。孤立的双侧鼓膜骨骨折鲜有报道。对于这些损伤，最常提倡的治疗方法是手术治疗，以预防未来的耳道狭窄。非手术治疗的有效性鲜有报道。在本病例报告中，我们展示了一例罕见的损伤，即因下颌骨外伤导致的孤立双侧鼓膜板骨折，无相关下颌骨或髁突骨折，采用非手术治疗。随访一年时功能结果良好。
