Abstract
The temporal bone is formed by the fusion of five distinct osseous portions, including the tympanic, squamous, mastoid, petrous, and the styloid process. It houses the hearing and vestibular organs, numerous nerves and vessels, and fits into the base of the skull between the sphenoid and the occipital bones, and separates the middle cranial fossa from the posterior cranial fossa.
