What are some signs of a fractured skull?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: There are different types of skull fractures. Open versus closed - is the scalp cut and the bone exposed? The skull can have a linear crack, or in pieces, or depressed, or sunken down. Signs are swelling of the scalp, bruising under scalp, bruising behind ear or around eyes.
