PATTERN OF SKULL FRACTURES AND ASSOCIATED INTRACRANIAL HEMORRHAGES IN FATAL ROAD TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS IN DELHI.
View through CrossRef
Head injuries are a leading cause of death and disability in road trafc accidents. The pattern of skull fractures and associated intracranial
hemorrhages can vary depending on the severity of the impact, the location of the impact, and the age and health of the victim. Methods:This study
was a prospective analysis of 200 fatal road trafc accidents. The victims were all adults who died due to road trafc accident. The data was
collected from medicolegal autopsies. Results: The most common type of skull fracture was a Linear fracture in 187 cases (93%). The temporal
bone was the most commonly fractured bone in 39 (25%), followed by the parietal and temporal bone in 37cases (24%). The most common type of
intracranial hemorrhage was subarachnoid hemorrhage in 191 cases (95%) followed by subdural hemorrhage in 178 cases (89%), Conclusion:
The pattern of skull fractures and associated intracranial hemorrhages in fatal road trafc accidents is variable. However, Linear fractures of the
temporal bone are the most common type of skull fracture, and subarachnoid hemorrhage is the most common type of intracranial hemorrhage.
Significance: This study provides important information on the pattern of skull fractures and associated intracranial hemorrhages in fatal road
trafc accidents. This information can be used to improve the diagnosis and management of head injuries in road trafc accidents.
