Why temporal bone fractures have dural hematomasSubarachnoid hemorrhage is mainly associated with injury to the middle meningeal artery.
Most temporal bone fractures are mainly caused by traumatic factors, such as car accidents, impact on the temporo-occipital region, and falls.
At the site of temporal bone fracture, the bone is weak, and the site where the temporal bone is located also has the middle meningeal artery passing through it, when temporal bone fracture occurs it will tear the middle meningeal artery, which will easily lead to rupture and bleeding of the middle meningeal artery, and it will be easy to form epidural hematoma, subarachnoid hemorrhage and so on, and ultimately, it will form cerebral hernia, and it may also be life-threatening.
When temporal bone fracture occurs, you need to be highly alert to the possibility of dural hematoma and subarachnoid hemorrhage, and promptly seek medical treatment, perform a cranial CT examination to help determine the bleeding situation, and prepare for surgical treatment if necessary.
