Skull fractures occur when the bones of the skull are broken, typically due to severe trauma. Fractures can be linear, depressed, or basilar, depending on the type of break. While not all skull fractures result in brain damage, many are associated with brain injuries, bleeding, or cerebrospinal fluid leaks. Treatment varies based on the severity of the fracture and any associated complications, ranging from observation to surgical intervention.
