Common Types of Skull Fractures
There are three main categories of skull fracture. They all vary in seriousness; each poses a different level of threat to the victim.
- Linear Fracture: A fracture in the cranium that does not depress in, splinter, or otherwise distort the skull. This type of break shows up as a line in the skull and is not considered to be very serious.
- Basilar Fracture: A linear fracture near the base of the cranium, posing a serious threat to the victim. This type of break can result in CSF rhinorrhea or otorrhea (both dangerous conditions).
- Depressed Fracture: A fracture resulting in the protrusion of the skull down into the brain cavity. This break results in pressure on the brain and sometimes directly touching (and therefore causing injury to) the brain. Depressed skull fractures can cause a serious amount of trauma to the brain.
All of these fractures result from a serious impact to the head. If you have recently suffered a severe head injury, then you may have also sustained a skull fracture.
