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.

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.

Little and Kesser 2006- Showed 5 fold increase in facial nerve
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%.

Uncommon, 9/25000 (0.39%) recorded in one case
series over 5 years. All patients had cranial nerve defects (II, III, IV, V, VI,
VII, VII), with VI and VII most common (66%).
Longitudinal fractures have worse prognosis, with 3
out of 5 patients died from verebrobasilar injury. Transverse had 1 out of 4 die from carotid artery
injury.

High energy blunt trauma with compression,
rotational or lateral bending injuries to head. Type I- Axial compression with comminution of
occipital condyle-stable injury with no displacement.
Type II- Direct blow that occurs with skull base and
occipital condyle- intact alar ligaments. Type III- Avulsion with lateral or rotational forces with
torn alar ligaments and fractures.

Eighty percent of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks occur
following nonsurgical trauma (16% surgical). Occur in 2% of all head traumas, and 12% to 30% of all
basilar skull fractures, M>F.

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.

CN IV- diplopia-
Least common injury site. Cause from stretching ofnerve as it exits from the dorsal midbrain.
Treatment same as CN III, with patch andspontaneous recovery.
CN V- Sensory deficits to the face. V1-supraorbital, V2-maxillary, V3-mandibular.
V1 most commonly damaged portion, with injury atsupraorbital notch.

CN VI- diplopia. Damage to the clivus. Also stretchedor avulsed when leaving the pons. Unable to abduct.Conservative treatment with spontaneous recovery.
Superior orbital fissure fractures can damage CN III, IV,VI and V1- known as superior orbital fissure syndrome.When accompanied by blindness, it is known as orbitalapex syndrome and involves optic foramen.

CN VII- facial paralysis. Most common temporal bone,50% of transverse and 25% of longitudinal fractures asinjuries. ENoG of 90% denervation should undergo
surgery. CN VIII- Hearing loss, vestibular damage. Cochlear
and vestibular nerve damage, or damage to oticcapsule can lead to total degeneration with deafness
and labyrinthine dysfunction. Workup withAudiogram, ABR, and ENG. Cochlear implants have84% success rate of return to speech understanding.

CN IX, X, XI- exit out of jugular foramen and CN XII exit outof hypoglossal foramen.
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.

Approximately 50% of patients with skull base fracturespresent with delayed ischemic brain damage. Carotidinjuries include carotid disruption, compression byfracture fragments or associated hematoma, arterial
wall contusion or hematoma, arterial dissection, carotidcavernous fistula, and occlusion.

no carotid injures noted on angiographic studies.

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.

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.
Evaluation: CSFRhinorrhea/Otorrhea

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.
Imaging: CT cisternograms

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.
