Abstract

Objective To explore the classification and efficacy of traumatic posterior cranial fossa fractures. Methods 155 cases were diagnosed by CT examination to determine for traumatic posterior fossa fracture involving the wounded and merger, at the same time will find traumatic cerebellopontie angle syndrome, as one of the key content classification, GCS score 3 to 15 points, and according to the clinical symptoms and signs combined with CT examination put forward the new classification, through the selection of parting early surgical and non-surgical treatment. Results 155 cases of posterior cranial fossa fracture and its associated injury were classified into type I-VI, and the therapeutic effect was evaluated according to GOS score after 6 months follow-up. Among the 75 cases, 50 cases were treated with 5 points, 16 cases were treated with 14 points, 5 cases were treated with 3 points, 2 cases were treated with 2 points, 2 cases were treated with 1 point, and the rest 80 cases were treated without operation with 4-5 point. Conclusion The new classification of type I-VI proposed by our group and the selection of ultra-early surgical and non-surgical treatment according to the classification are the key to reduce the mortality and disability rate in this study. Especially, the traumatic cerebellopontine angle syndroma proposed by zhang yan ping that important significance of timely operation.
