SKULL BASE FRACTURE CASE STUDIES

Abstract

The basilar skull fracture should be considered as a peculiar entity of head injury as it is characterised by a special properties as regards the biomechanestlcs mechanisms of injury, the complications and managment procedures.

The blood changes as regards the (ESR) erytherosedementation rate, and total leucocytic count, and differential leucocytic count, not discussed before in any literatures.

We found that the response to trauma in fracture base in comparison to the response in case of closed heas injury and in case of non traumatic intracerbral heamorrhage is as follow in case of fracture base the response to trauma characterised by higher ESR than ICH and closed head injury reaches its mean value (23) in the firstt 6- Hour and the total leucocytic count (leucocytosis its value (14000) but is higher in case of I, C. H. (18000) and in closed head injury is mild rised of ESR and mild leucocytosis.
