Epilepsy after nonmissile depressed skull fracture

Journal of Neurosurgery, 1974
✓ Of 1000 patients with nonmissile depressed skull fractures, 10% had early epilepsy (first week) and 15% developed late epilepsy. The risk of late epilepsy varied widely but could be predicted from clinical data 1 week after injury. In more than one-third of the patients with depressed fractures the risk of late epilepsy is less than 4%, but in some ...

NONSURGICAL TREATMENT OF COMPOUND DEPRESSED SKULL FRACTURES

The Journal of Trauma: Injury, Infection, and Critical Care, 1993
Classical treatment of compound depressed skull fractures includes debridement and closure of all scalp wounds to minimize the risk of delayed intracranial infection. In selected situations, a nonsurgical approach may prove to be equally safe. Over a 33-month period, we evaluated 1075 patients for head trauma.

Intrauterine depressed skull fractures are reported only occasionally. In reviewing the literature it seems clear that pressure of the fetal head against the maternal bony structures, mainly the sacral promontory, accounts for most of the so-called "spontaneous" congenital depressed skull fractures. Rather than true fractures, they are focal congenital

<i>Introduction:</i> Elevation and repair of an open depressed skull fracture is often thought of as an emergency procedure. Common indications for emergent elevation of a depressed skull fracture have been dural tear, seizure, gross contamination or mass effect from bone or a sizable underlying intracerebral hematoma.

Treatment of Traumatic Depressed Compound Skull Fractures

Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2019
Background: A skull fracture widely occurs in patients with traumatic brain injury, leading to intracranial hematoma, brain contusion, and intracranial infection. It also influences the prognosis and death of patients. This study aimed to discuss cases of patients with comminuted skull fractures.

Pediatric depressed skull fractures: analysis of 530 cases

Child's Nervous System, 1996
Depressed skull fractures (DSFs) account for 7-10% of children admitted to hospital with a head injury and 15-25% of children with skull fractures. We reviewed the records of 530 patients operated on for DSF from January 1, 1973, to December 31, 1993. This group was made up of 357 boys (67%) and 173 girls (33%) whose ages ranged from 1 day to 16 years (
