Skull fracture: break in the bone that surrounds the brain
- Linear skull fracture: More common injury in children than adults. It is a simple break in the skull that is straight. It may be caused by a motor vehicle accident or fall
- Basilar skull fracture: Is a fracture to bones that make up the floor of the skull. Basilar skull fractures are usually caused by a severe head trauma of force to the head.
- Depressed skull fractures: May occur from a forceful impact by a blunt object that causes “dents” in the skull bone. Depressed skull fractures that are between 1/4-1/2 inch (a skull’s thickness) will often require surgery to elevate the bone and check the brain for possible damage from the force.
- Subdural hematoma : Bleeding between the brain tissue and dura mater (a layer of tissue between the brain and skull) is called a subdural hematoma.
- An epidural hematoma may often occur with trauma to the temporal bone located on the side of the head above the ear.
- Intraparenchymal hemorrhage/cerebral contusion : Is bleeding into the brain tissue itself.
