Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Many advances have taken place in the management and treatment of head injured patients in recent years. Despite this, there have been few studies about SKULL FRACTURE/fa?page=1&sort=1&ftyp=all&fgrp=all&fyrs=all" target="_blank"> DEPRESSED SKULL FRACTUREs as a subgroup of head injured patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate surgical results of patients with SKULL FRACTURE/fa?page=1&sort=1&ftyp=all&fgrp=all&fyrs=all" target="_blank"> DEPRESSED SKULL FRACTUREs.METHODS: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 74 patients (50 males and 24 females) with the mean age of 20 years (5-52 years) who were admitted in neurosurgery department of Urmia Imam Khomeini hospital during 4 years (2009-2012) with SKULL FRACTURE/fa?page=1&sort=1&ftyp=all&fgrp=all&fyrs=all" target="_blank"> DEPRESSED SKULL FRACTURE and treated surgically. Preoperatively, CT scan was done in all patients. Prophylactic antibiotics and antiepileptics were administered in all cases. Variables such as: type and cause of fractures, neurologic deficit, seizure, postoperative meningitis, skin defect, wound infection, CSF leak and mortality were evaluated. Patients were followed up during one year after SURGERY.FINDINGS: From 74 cases, 60 (81%) were compound and 14 (19%) cases were simple fractures. In 8 (11%) patients fracture were crossed the midline (over superior sagittal sinus). The cause of depressed fractures were road traffic accident in 38 (51%) cases, fall from height in 23 (31%) cases, physical violence in 5 (7%) cases, sports related injury in 2 (3%) cases and miscellaneous in 6 (8%) cases. Level of consciousness before SURGERY was ranged from 5 to 15 based on Glasgow Coma Scale. Postoperatively complete recovery occurred in 50 (67.5%) cases, hemiparesis in 10 (13.5%) cases, seizure in 4 (5.4%) cases, dysphasia in 2 (3%) cases, meningitis in 2 (3%) cases, and skin defect with wound infection in 2 (3%) cases. No death and CSF leak was recorded.CONCLUSION: Surgical treatment of SKULL FRACTURE/fa?page=1&sort=1&ftyp=all&fgrp=all&fyrs=all" target="_blank"> DEPRESSED SKULL FRACTURE with prophylactic antibiotics and antiepileptics has good results and few complications.
