Question
A few days ago, a four-month-old baby accidentally fell and sustained a skull concave fracture on the right upper side of the head, measuring about 3cm x 4cm in size, with a depth of about 0.5cm. After undergoing a head CT scan, no brain injury or hematoma was found, but there were slight traces at the concave area, and the hospital diagnosed it as a concave fracture. The parents consulted several hospitals with the CT scan, but received differing opinions.
Answer
Hello, please do not worry too much. First, observe if the child shows any changes in symptoms. Concave fractures usually do not require special treatment, but precautions should be taken to prevent infection and comprehensive treatment including dehydration, anti-inflammatory medication, and nutritional treatment for nerve cells should be administered. In the coming months, carefully monitor the child for any signs of neurological abnormalities or epilepsy seizures.
