Diagnosis Methods

The fundamental diagnostic method is high-resolution computed tomography (CT) of the brain; MRI and cerebrospinal fluid leak investigation tests are added when needed. Brain injury and vascular injuries that may accompany the fracture are also evaluated together. During follow-up, signs of infection and deterioration of neurological function are closely monitored.
