Mandibular and Basilar Skull Fracture Tolerance
SAE Technical Paper Series, 1994<div class="htmlview paragraph">Basilar skull fractures comprise a broad category of injuries that have been attributed to a variety of causal mechanisms including mandibular impacts. The objective of this work is to develop an understanding of the biomechanical mechanisms that result in basilar skull fractures when the head is subject to a ...

Basilar skull fractures are fractures of the lower part of the skull. They make up about 20% of all skull fractures and are mainly caused by high-velocity blunt trauma and falls from high heights. Depending on their precise location, they can be divided into frontobasal, laterobasal and frontolateral fractures.

Analysis of the treatment of basilar skull fractures with and without antibiotics
Journal of Neurosurgery, 1975✓ The efficacy of chemoprophylaxis in the treatment of basilar skull fractures was studied in 129 patients over a 2-year period; antibiotics were found ineffective in preventing central nervous system infections, and in some cases may have proved harmful. It is suggested that a more rational approach to the treatment of basilar skull fractures includes

Transsphenoid basilar skull fracture: CT patterns.
Radiology, 1993The authors studied computed tomographic (CT) scans obtained in 40 patients with transsphenoid basilar skull fractures to establish if there were reproducible patterns of fracture along lines of weakness. Medical records were reviewed. Four major fracture patterns were identified: anterior transverse (n = 22), lateral frontal diagonal (n = 7 ...

Traumatic Chiasmal Syndrome Associated With Midline Basilar Skull Fractures
American Journal of Ophthalmology, 1994We studied two young males who had visual field defects consistent with optic chiasmal injury after blunt frontal head trauma. One patient also had a unilateral optic neuropathy. Long-term follow-up disclosed complete bi-temporal hemianopsias in these patients.

Metastatic Neuroblastoma: The Mimicker of Basilar Skull Fracture in Children
The Journal of Emergency Medicine, 2012A 21-month-old Caucasian boy was seen at another hospital with a chief complaint of mild ecchymosis in the left infraorbital region. The parents denied any known trauma or fall. His examination did not reveal any obvious fracture and he was discharged with a presumed diagnosis of facial contusion from a fall.

Cavernous Sinus Air in a Patient with Basilar Skull Fracture
Journal of Computer Assisted Tomography, 1988Air within the cavernous sinus resulting from fracture of the wall of the sphenoid sinus was identified by cranial CT in a patient with head injury. Careful search of the skull base is important in post-traumatic pneumocephalus to identify a potential site of CSF leak.

Radiology of basilar skull fractures.
CRC critical reviews in diagnostic imaging, 1980Injury to the basal portion of the anterior, middle, and posterior fossae of the skull are rather easily overlooked unless the radiologist carefully searches for indirect or direct signs of such injury. Representative injuries of each area are reviewed and radiological signs are illustrated.

Antibiotic prophylaxis for preventing meningitis in patients with basilar skull fractures
Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2011Basilar skull fractures (BSF) predispose patients to meningitis because of the possible direct contact of bacteria in the paranasal sinuses, nasopharynx or middle ear with the central nervous system (CNS). Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage has been associated with a greater risk of contracting meningitis.
