    No drugs will cure skull base fractures.

    I do not own stock in medical equipment.

    However, I do drive a car, own a baseball bat andwork at the TDC hospital.

    In US, 2 million head injuries occur yearly.

    Leading cause of death and disability of children.

    Motor vehicle accidents are leading cause of headtrauma in industrialized countries.

    Up to 1/3 of motor vehicle injuries involve head and

    neck injuries and 28% of all fractures of involving MVAare of the head and neck region.

    7/80

    Skull base fracture incidence is increased with orbitalwall/rim fractures (36%) and ZMC Fractures (29.9%).

    Infrequent with nasal bone (7.7%) and mandible fractures(4.0%).

    The incidence of skull base fracture was directly associatedwith the number of facial fractures per patient; one facialfracture (21.0%), two facial fractures (30.4%), and three ormore facial fractures (33.3%).

    Temporal bone fractures are associated 18-40% of the time.

    Frontal sinus fractures occur 15-20% of the time.

    This includes posterior frontal sinus, roof of ethmoid,cribriform and orbital roof.

    Classification (Damianos):

    Type 1- Cribriform fractures- linear through cribriform.

    Type 2- Frontoethmoid fracture- Ethmoids and medialfrontal sinus walls.

    Type 3- Lateral frontal fracture- Through the lateral

    frontal sinus to the superomedial wall of orbit. Type 4- Mixed- any combination of above.

    injury, 25 fold increase in SNHL and 8 fold increase in CSF leakswith otic capsule violating fractures.

    They also showed a correlation among OCV fracture and facialnerve paresis or paralysis, In a large series of 820 temporal bonefractures facial nerve paralysis occurred in 48% of OCV fractures

    versus only 6% in OCS fractures. The incidence of otic capsule violating fracture is 2.5% to 5.6%.

    VII, VII), with VI and VII most common (66%).

    Longitudinal fractures have worse prognosis, with 3

    CN I- anosmia- from anterior fossa injuries(cribriform). Sense of smell may return over severalmonths. Workup is limited with CT scan.

    CN II- Blindness worst outcome- from damage tothe optic canal or orbit. Sphenoid body with sellaturcica damage can cause injury to the optic

    chiasm, causing bitemporal blindness.

    Glossopharyngeal injury leads to dysphagia and loss of gag

    Vagus nerve results in ipsilateral cord or palate weaknesswith hoarseness.

    Spinal accessory nerve causes weakness with headrotation and shoulder elevation. Hypoglossal nerve injury

    causes atrophy of ipsilateral tongue. Treatment is usually supportive with therapy.

    HRCT scan is the gold standard for skull base injury. It

    has the best modality to evaluate bony fractures. The slices should be 1-1.5 mm thick at the most.

    Helical CT scans are useful in the evaluation ofoccipital condylar fractures.

    CT Angiography is an excellent, quick, non-invasivetechnique for the assessment of cerebral vasculature.

    A total of 249 patients underwent arteriography; 85(34%) had injuries.

    Independent predictors of carotid arterial injury were:Glasgow coma score 6, petrous bone fracture,diffuse axonal brain injury, and LeFort II or III fracture.Having one of these factors in the setting of a high-risk mechanism was associated with 41% risk of injury.

    Provides greater soft tissue detail but less bony detailcompared to CT.

    FSE T-1 or T-2 with post contrast enhancement are

    preferred methods to evaluate skull base. T-2 fat suppression with image reversal is used to

    highlight CSF.

    T2 weighted thin sliced images (FIESTA) is used to

    evaluate cranial nerves.

    CSF evaluation

    Halo or Ring Sign

    Bloody CSF placed on a piece of filter paper Blood will separate out from the CSF (central blood

    with clear ring).

    The ring sign is not specific to bloody CSF

    Blood mixed with water, saline, and other mucus willalso produce a ring sign.

    Beta-2-transferrin

    Protein produced by enzymes only in CNS.

    Test requires 0.5cc of fluid.

    Highly sensitive and specific for CSF.

    Beta-trace protein

    Found in CSF, heart, and serum.

    Not routinely ordered as it may be altered in many cases.

    Elevated with renal insufficiency, multiple sclerosis,cerebral infarctions, and some CNS tumors.

    Useful in detection of CSF leaks.

    Involve intrathecal administration of radiopaquecontrast (metrizamide, iohexol, or iopamido)

    followed by CT scan. Up to 80% sensitivity.

    However results vary with intermittent leaks, andcontrast may obscure visualization of leak site.

    Treatment begins with conservative management ofstrict bed rest, HOB >30 degrees, no cough, sneezing,straining.

    Currently, after two separate meta-analysis showed

    conflicting data, a Cochrane review was done forevaluation of prophylactic antibiotics for CSF leaks.

    The analysis concluded that the evidence does notsupport the use of prophylactic antibiotics to reduce

    the risk of meningitis in patients with basilar skullfractures or basilar skull fractures with active CSFleak.

    Conservative management for 7 days has resolutionsrate of 85%.

    Continued leakage is then treated with lumbar

    drainage of 10 ml/hr. This increases resolution rate to90%.

    Therefore, surgical intervention is reserved forpatients who do not resolve with the above

    measures.

    Skull base injuries offer complex fractures that

    require thorough evaluations. Division in 3 cranial vaults provides a reasonable way

    for evaluation.

    Radiographic evaluation is important, along with

    history and physical exam. Treatment measure typically begin with conservative

    treatment, with surgical intervention saved for severeor persistent disease.
