The Base of the skull is Made up
of 5 bones (Martinez, 2013)

Signs/Clinical Presentations
Diagnosed by clinical findings – Clinical assessment critical
Clinical findings consistent with basal skull fracture
â—¦ Anterior Fossa: rhinorrhea (discharge from the nose), raccoon eyes (periorbital ecchymosis). Anosmia
(loss of smell), oculomotor palsies
◦ Middle Fossa: Hemotympanum (blood in the middle ear), otorrhea vertigo, “Battle’s sign (mastoid
ecchymosis), unilateral hearing loss.
â—¦ Posterior Fossa: hypotension, tachycardia, alteration in respirations due to compression of the
brainstem.
