Background
- Involve at least one of five bones that comprise base of the skull [1]
- cribriform plate of ethmoid bone
- orbital plate of the frontal bone
- petrous and squamous portion of the temporal bone
- sphenoid and occipital bones
- Occur most commonly through temporal bone--> high risk for extra-axial hematomas, particularly epidural hematoma
Clinical Features
.jpg)
- Nausea/vomiting, oculomotor deficits from injuries to CN3, 4 or 6
- Retroauricular or mastoid ecchymosis (Battle sign), onset 1-3 days after fracture occurred
- Raccoon eyes: periorbital ecchymosis
- Clear rhinorrhea or otorrhea
- "halo" sign: drop of fluid placed on tissue or filter paper, rapidly expanding ring of clear fluid around red blood defines positive test
- CSF distinguished from local nasal secretions with presence of beta-trace protein or beta-2 transferrin
- Hemotympanum
