Temporal bone trauma are more common nowadays related to sports. We report 2 cases with temporal bone fractures in patients younger than 14 years. They were two male, 9 and 12-year-old respectively, that presented traumatism after accidental falls from lowe height. ⋯ CT scanning was essential to determine the importance of the trauma. Despite the otic capsule rupture, hearing loss in the second case was only significant over 2 KHz, suggesting a selective cochlear trauma. We present clinical and imaging findings, as well as correlation of audiological and vestibular alterations, reviewing the clinical presentation of temporal bone trauma in children.
