skull fracture

A skull fracture is a break or crack in the bones of the skull, usually caused by a strong impact or blow to the head. It can vary from small cracks to more severe breaks that expose the brain or cause bleeding. Symptoms may include headache, dizziness, confusion, or visible deformity. While some skull fractures heal on their own with minimal treatment, more serious cases might require surgery or additional medical intervention to prevent complications. Prompt medical evaluation is essential to assess the extent of the injury and ensure proper care.
