Is a skull fracture serious?

Text begins: Is skull fracture serious? A gay man suffered a skull fracture and would like to know more about it. Skull fractures account for 15% of closed head injuries and 70% of severe head injuries. The importance of skull fracture is not the fracture itself, but the meninges and meninges caused by the fracture. Answer from Health Education Network: Skull fractures account for 15% of closed craniocerebral injuries and 70% of severe craniocerebral injuries. The importance of skull fracture is not the fracture itself, but the damage caused by the fracture to the meninges, meningeal hemangioma, cerebrovascular and cranial nerves. When a craniocerebral injury is accompanied by a skull fracture, it means that the force acting on the head is greater and the brain damage is more severe. 1. Factors causing fractures (1) The formation of fractures mainly depends on the magnitude of the force, the direction of the action, the area of ??contact between the object and the skull and the structural characteristics of the skull (the thickness and elasticity of the bone). (2) Fractures are almost all full-thickness fractures, that is, the outer plate, barrier and inner plate are all fractured at the same time. (3) The speed of the injury object and the size of the contact area are related to the nature of the fracture. Accelerated injuries caused by an object hitting the head may occur in the following situations: ① The contact area between the injured object and the head is large and the speed is slow, often causing linear fractures. ② The contact area between the injury and the head is large and the speed is fast, which often results in circular depressed fractures or car accidents. The doctor said intracranial hemorrhage and skull fracture, and the person is awake. Is it serious? / Take a film. You need to see the film and let the doctor make a medical record. If the other party thinks that the person will still be in pain for a few days when he is awake, let alone a broken bone. If the patient is bleeding and cannot see clearly, the Health Education Network answers: Take a film. You need to see the film and let the doctor make a medical record. If the other party thinks the person is awake, consult with them after discharge. If there are any sequelae later, you can also You need to go to them. If the person has always understood that it is just pain, it is not a big problem. Ordinary hand cuts will still hurt for a few days, let alone fractures. If there is bleeding within the lumen, the problem cannot be seen clearly. The lumen must be opened, the blood removed, and the bleeding stopped. It also depends on the extent of the fracture, whether it is just a gap or it is dislocated. 1: It depends on the situation of fractures and bleeding. A short period of sobriety does not mean that the condition is not serious. 2: To check the amount and location of bleeding, take a look at the CT scan. Answer from Health Education Network: Based on the situation you described, the CT shows intracranial pneumatosis under the inner skull plate and skull fracture. It seems that these symptoms are more difficult. Let’s start with the intracranial pneumatosis under the inner skull plate. Intracranial pneumatosis indicates that trauma has caused skull fractures, because under normal circumstances, there is no air in the skull, and only when trauma causes skull fractures will air enter the skull. In this case, close observation should be carried out and hospitalization is best. My advice to you in this regard is. You didn't mention whether there was any damage to the brain parenchyma, so I guess it probably wasn't. You don't need to worry too much about the subcutaneous hematoma, as it will be absorbed slowly. You should pay attention to observation. If symptoms worsen, or other intracranial injuries are found on CT review, such as hemorrhage, brain contusion, etc., active treatment should be performed, such as hemostasis, cranial nerve nutrition, or surgery. The latter one is a skull fracture. The treatment plan is: a simple linear fracture itself does not require special treatment, but you should be wary of whether it is combined with a brain. The forensic doctor has not identified it. The doctor's X-ray showed that the skull fracture was not serious, but the other party also injured me and hospitalized me with soft tissue contusion. How he accompanies me. My husband is in criminal detention. Looking at criminal cases, it depends on who takes action first. The only thing you have to do now is forensic identification. Your injuries. Then call the police and arrest the person who beat you. Then hire a lawyer to help you handle this matter. It makes no sense for the other party to ask for 50,000. Without forensic examination, the extent of his injuries cannot be legally determined. Health Education Network’s answer: In criminal cases, it depends on who takes action first. The only thing you have to do now is forensic identification. Your injuries. Then call the police and arrest the person who beat you. Then hire a lawyer to help you handle this matter. It makes no sense for the other party to ask for 50,000. Without forensic examination, the extent of his injuries cannot be legally determined. 1: The soft tissue contusion is far from constituting a crime, so the other party will not be criminally responsible, that is, he will not be sentenced. The standard of compensation is medical expenses + lost work expenses + nutrition expenses during hospitalization. 2: The other party suffered minor injuries (simple skull fracture according to Article 7 of the Minor Injury Identification Standards), and yours may constitute minor injuries. If I follow the legal procedures and intentionally injure myself, will I be sentenced to 1-3 years in prison and be subject to supervision? Is the skull fracture serious? If it is a linear fracture, it is not a big problem. If it is a depressed fracture, it depends on the degree of depression whether surgery is needed, and whether bleeding causes epidural hematoma. Health Education Network Answer: If it is a linear fracture, it is not a big problem. If it is In the case of a depressed fracture, it depends on the extent of the depression whether surgery is required and whether bleeding causes epidural hematoma. 1: Depressed fractures are seen in calvarial fractures, most commonly in the frontal and parietal bones. Most are full-thickness depressions, and a few are only Inner panel is dented. Depressed fractures in adults are mostly comminuted fractures, and infants and young children may suffer from "ping fractures." Answer from the Health Education Network: Don't be too anxious. Skull fractures may be serious, but it also depends on the extent of the injury. If it is just a fracture, it can heal on its own, because the skull fracture can heal on its own. There are no joints in the bone and it is the easiest part to recover from a fracture.
