Patient's question:
I have seen many different types of fractures, especially since I used to enjoy playing basketball and often saw, or even experienced myself, fractures like arm and leg bones. This time, hearing about basilar skull fracture surprised me. Can this be saved? How should basilar skull fractures be treated?Doctor's answer:
Patients with cranial fractures can be treated. The specific treatment method needs to be chosen based on the details of the cranial fracture. If the cranial fracture is not severe and there is no recurrence of intracranial hemorrhage, proper rest and symptomatic treatment are sufficient. If the cranial fracture is very severe and there is a recurrence of severe intracranial hemorrhage, surgical treatment is generally required to completely resolve the issue.
