At Southern California Brain and Spine Surgery, Dr Moksha Ranasinghe MD FAANS provides specialized skull fracture treatment to protect brain health, prevent complications, and support recovery.
Contact us today to schedule a consultation and explore your treatment options.
A skull fracture is a break in the bone of the head, usually caused by trauma like a fall, accident, or strong impact. It can occur on the top of the skull or at its base (basilar fracture). Some fractures are minor and heal on their own, while others may require surgery to protect the brain and prevent complications.
Skull fractures may cause swelling, bruising around the eyes or ears, fluid or blood leakage from the nose or ears, and pain at the injury site. If the brain is affected, symptoms can include nausea, confusion, slurred speech, vision issues, and balance problems.
Skull fractures can be linear, depressed, basilar, diastatic, or complex, depending on the break’s location and severity. They are also classified as closed (skin intact) or open (skin broken), with open fractures posing a higher infection risk.
At Southern California Brain & Spine Surgery, we tailor skull fracture treatment based on your age, overall health, fracture type, and any associated brain injury. Our priority is to protect brain function and ensure a safe, full recovery. Our treatment approach includes:
Most minor skull fractures heal on their own and are managed with careful monitoring, pain relief, and short-term rehabilitation to watch for complications like seizures or fluid buildup.
For severe fractures such as depressed, basilar, or open fractures, minimally invasive surgery may be needed to repair bone damage, relieve pressure, and prevent long term complications.
Accurately identifying a skull fracture is the first step toward effective treatment. Our state-of-the-art diagnostic tools, trusted by leading neurosurgeons and neurologists, provide precise assessments to ensure the best care. Technologies we use:
