For most skull fractures, treatment consists of close observation in the hospital and medication to relieve pain during the healing process[1]. However, some skull fractures require surgery[1][2]. The goal of skull fracture treatment is to control pain, promote healing, and prevent complications[2]. Specific treatment for a fracture will be determined by the neurosurgeon, taking into account several factors, including the patient’s age, overall health, and medical history, severity of the fracture, and type of fracture[1].  For most skull fractures, which are linear fractures, surgical intervention is not needed. Instead, physicians prescribe medication to control pain and maintain close observation in the hospital[2]. Surgery may be needed to repair compound fractures, comminuted fractures, and some types of closed fractures, and also to stitch up any tears in the dura mater and scalp[2].

Linear fracture: Where the fracture is one thin line with no additional lines splintering from it and no compression or distortion of the bones. Depressed fracture: Where the skull is crushed inward, and pieces of skull press into the brain. Basilar fracture: Where the fracture occurs at the base of the skull, which can cause cerebrospinal fluid to leak from the nose or...
