Skull fractures which we regularly deal with fall into four main categories:
This is the most common type of skull fracture. In a linear fracture, there is a break in the bone, but the bone is not moved.
This type of fracture may be seen with or without a cut in the scalp. In this fracture, part of the skull is actually sunken in from the trauma. This type of skull fracture may require surgical intervention, depending on the severity.
These are fractures that occur along the suture lines in the skull. The sutures are the areas between the bones in the head that fuse during childhood.
This is the most serious type of skull fracture, and involves a break in the bone at the base of the skull and usually requires close observation in hospital.
