Basilar Skull Fracture

Introduction. Recent studies have provided guidelines on the use ofhead computed tomography (CT) scans in pediatric trauma patients.The purpose of this study was to identify the prevalence of theseguidelines among concussed pediatric patients. Methods. A retrospective review was conducted of patients fouryears or younger with a concussion from blunt trauma. Demographics,head injury characteristics, clinical indicators for head CT scan(severe mechanism, physical exam findings of basilar skull fracture,non-frontal scalp hematoma, Glasgow Coma Scale score, loss ofconsciousness, neurologic deficit, altered mental status, vomiting,headache, amnesia, irritability, behavioral changes, seizures, lethargy),CT results, and hospital course were collected. Results. One-hundred thirty-three patients (78.2%) received a headCT scan, 7 (5.3%) of which demonstrated fractures and/or bleeds. Allpatients with skull fractures and/or bleeds had at least one clinicalindicator present on arrival. Clinical indicators that were observedmore commonly in patients with positive CT findings than in thosewith negative CT findings included severe mechanism (100% vs.54.8%, respectively, p = 0.020) and signs of a basilar skull fracture(28.6% vs. 0.8%, respectively, p = 0.007). Severe mechanism alonewas found to be sensitive, but not specific, whereas signs of a basilarskull fracture, headache, behavioral changes, and vomiting were specific,but not sensitive. No neurosurgical procedures were necessary,and there were no deaths. Conclusions. Clinical indicators were present in patients with positiveand negative CT findings. However, severe mechanism of injuryand signs of basilar skull fracture were more common for patients withpositive CT findings. Kans J Med 2018;11(2):38-43.
