Depressed Fracture correct answers Fragment of bone compressed inward and injures brain
Comminuted fracture correct answers bone is broken into several pieces
Linear Calvarial fracture correct answers Most frequent type, occurs at point of impact, fracture lines radiate away from impact in two or more directions
Contrecoup fracture correct answers AKA counterblow, fracture on opposite side of impact
Basilar Fracture correct answers involve bones forming the cranial base ( occipital bone around foramen magnum, temporal and/ or sphenoid bones or roof or orbit), the CSF might leak into nose or ear (rhinorrhea or otorrhea), could also damage blood vessels
Pterion Fracture correct answers Life threatening-->it overlies the middle meningeal vessels= possible epidural hematoma, middle meningeal artery hemorrhage = possible death if untreated
Scalp Injuries and Infections: What is the danger area of the scalp? correct answers connective tissues, because pus and blood spreads easily
Scalp Injuries and Infections: Emissary veins correct answers Can allow infection to pass to meninges through the calvaria
Scalp Injuries and Infections: Can an infection pass into the neck from intercranial? correct answers No, occipital belly of occipitofrontalis attaches to the occipital bones and mastoid parts of the temporal bone
Scalp Injuries and Infections:
Can an infection pass laterally beyond the zygomatic bone? correct answers no because epicranial aponeurosis is continuous with the temporal fascia
Can an infection enter the eyelids and root of nose? correct answers Yes, "black eyes" can result from injury to scalp or forehead
Ecchymosis correct answers AKA purple patches, result of extravastion of blood into the subcutaneous tissue
Cavernous Sinus correct answers (showed different image in class)
How does the facial vein connect with the cavernous sinus? correct answers Ophthalmic vein, because there are no valves blood from facial can run superiorly to the cavernous sinus
thrombophlebitis correct answers venous inflammation
