This can be very dangerous. If the leakage is too much it can cause severe, severe headache. It has even been reported to result in the herniation of the brainstem....killing the patient. It sounds like a LeFort 1 fracture of the basilar. Hope she does well.
Yep probably.
Kinda 2 parts to skull, the part that holds the brain and the part that makes the face. You crack the bottom of the skull part that houses the brain you can have leakage of spinal fluid into the sinuses or into the ear.
Severe headaches and also a chance for bacterial meningitis.
I’ve had 3 concussions as a kid. The last one was so bad my brain had swollen to the point it was starting to push out the hole in the bottom of my skull (I was vomiting across the room) and the I lost my central vision for about a 1/2 hr. (The artery supplying the blood to the vision part of my brain was cut off.)
And the school nurses sent me home!!
Football players are wimps compared to the 14 y.o. girl!! LOL!
