Basal skull fractures are associated with mortality in pediatric severe traumatic brain injury

Basal skull fractures (BSFs) are caused by blunt force trauma, occurring in the temporal, occipital, sphenoid, and/or ethmoid bones. In pediatric severe traumatic brain injury (sTBI), there is a paucity of data on BSFs. Our goal was to investigate the BSF prevalence, anatomy, and association with sh...

Zusammenfassung:Basal skull fractures (BSFs) are caused by blunt force trauma, occurring in the temporal, occipital, sphenoid, and/or ethmoid bones. In pediatric severe traumatic brain injury (sTBI), there is a paucity of data on BSFs. Our goal was to investigate the BSF prevalence, anatomy, and association with short-term outcomes in pediatric sTBI. We retrospectively reviewed all severely injured (Injury Severity Score ≥12) pediatric patients (aged
