Author ProfileAbstract
A fracture of the mastoid bone should be considered in the work-up of a
head and neck traumatic injury. A well-pneumatized mastoid can absorb
forceful impacts, protecting middle and inner ear structures. Fractures
of the mastoid, followed by Valsalva maneuver can lead to subcutaneous
cervical emphysema.19 Jan 2022Submitted to Clinical Case Reports 21 Jan 2022Submission Checks Completed
