Frequency and pattern of skull base and vault fracture in isolated head trauma
In conclusion, it was observed that skull base fractures were frequently associated with especially fatal head traumas and this fracture was strongly associated with death. In the antemortem and postmortem examination of cases injured due to head trauma, skull base fracture should be investigated with high care. In cases with fractures, a detailed examination should be performed in terms of the size and type of the fracture and intracranial lesions that may be associated with the fracture.
