Best Doctors for Skull Fracture Treatment in Kurnool

Skull fracture is the breakage of skull bones protecting the brain due to traumatic injury or fall. There are different types of skull fractures based on the location, orientation and spatial arrangement. Some of them are open fractures, closed fractures, linear or diastatic fractures. The immediate signs to watch out for after a fall or head injury is skin discoloration, swelling of the area and eyes ( raccoon eyes), leakage of cerebrospinal fluids from nose, bleeding from nose or ear, vision changes. It can be quickly followed by profuse vomiting, balance and speech difficulties and loss of consciousness in severe cases. They can be caused due to motor vehicle accidents, personal violence, unintentional or intentional falls. A neurologist rules out underlying damage by conducting MRI of the skull. A surgical approach is deemed essential and immediate if the fracture is severe.
