Is there any skull fracture seen in my father's CT head report?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have seen the images of CT scans (attachment removed to protect patient identity).

• There is bleeding in the left thalamus and a subdural hemorrhage in the left temporal region. Soft tissue thickness is increased in the right temporal and parietal region.

• There is a thin linear lucency along the outer table of the bone in the right parietal region. This can occur due to trauma and is probably due to mild injury.

• What do you mean by crack of parietal and temporal bones? Please clarify it.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

• There is lucency between the outer table of the skull and diploe.

• The outer table of the skull contains compact bone and the diploe is spongy bone. Therefore, due to trauma, there can be separation like the one visualized.

• There is no fracture in any area. This will not cause any bleeding like the one your father had.
