Letter to the Editor: Suboccipital decompression without dural opening

Abstract

FIG. 1. Left: Three-dimensional CT image obtained in a 6-year-old girl who fell off her bicycle, showing a parallel-oriented linear skull fracture (arrows) of parietal bone. Arrowhead indicates a vascular canal that is more clearly defined on the 3D CT image. Right: Three-dimensional CT image obtained in a 1-month-old boy who fell from a couch. The patient has an abnormal head shape without craniosynostosis (positional plagiocephaly). There is a linear skull fracture of the left parietal bone on the vertex that is parallel to the imaging plane (arrows). Figure is available in color online only.Unauthenticated |
