The course of and sequelae to 26 transverse and 222 longitudinal fractures of the petrous portion are reported. Most patients were followed for a long time and seen 2–7 years after the trauma. Hearing loss of the conductive type has a very favourable prognosis, but for therapeutic and insurance reasons the patients should be followed.
