basal skull fracture (medicine) and fluency (iou)


basal skull fracture (medicine)


basal skull fracture
<orthopaedics> A fracture involving the base of the cranium.

This fracture is often difficult to detect clinically. Findings may include raccoon eyes, Battle's sign, haemotympanum and cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhoea.

Plain skull X-ray will often not reveal the basal skull fracture, making a CT scan or MRI the most reliable diagnostic investigation.
