CHAP TER2 The injured patient
Retraction sign***
When looking from the side of the patient, as they look upward
the globe is seen to move posteriorly. This is a good sign for a blowout frac ture. Entrapment of the fat and restriction of the infer ior rectus muscle results in a shift of the axis of rotation of the globe from its centre to the point of entrapment. Thus the pull of the superior rectus result s in a back ward rotation of theglobe.
Hypoglobus*
Inferior displacement of the globe seen in cheek complex fractures,
where the bone and Lockwood’s ligament drop down. May also be seen in large blowout fractures.
Enophthalmos*
Posterior displacement of the globe due to increased orbital
volume. Seen in blowout fractures of the orbit and cheek fractures. Globe appears ‘sunken in’ with a deep supra tarsal groove.
Third nerve palsy***
Dilated pupil, the eye look s down and out, and ptosis. In severe
head injuries this represents third nerve compression from an expanding intracranial lesion. The patient has a reduced GCSscore.
Aqueous leakage***
Apenetrating injury of the cornea .
Superior orbital ssure (SOF) syndrome**
(Lazy French Tart s Sit Naked In Anticipation!) Ophthalmoplegia,
xed dilated pupil, and ipsilateral forehead numbness— fracture extending into the SOF, or possible carotid aneur ysm. This is usually part of a signicant injury.
Orbital apex syndrome**
As in the SOF but here the patient has reduced visual acuity.
Periorbital oedema*
When infective in origin represents signicant spread of infection.
If the eye is closing the patient may probably need admission.
Theears
Haemotympanum**
Blood visualized behind the ear drum. Indicative of a fracture of the
middle cranialfossa.
Battles sign***
Bruising around the mastoid region— fr actured base of skull
(middle cranial fossa).
CSF rhinorrhoea/ otorrhoea***
‘Tramlining’— fractured base of skull. B lood mixes with CSF and
leaks out. Along the edges the blood clots while centrally the CSF leak washes it away to form two parallel lines (like tr amlines).
Bleeding from theear**
May indicate a fractured base of skull or mandibular condyle. If the
tympanic membrane is intact, the bleeding is local to the meatus, usually the anter ior wall. This is often secondary to an associated condylar fracture. If the tympanic membrane is perforated the blood may be from a middle cranial fossa fracture.

CHAP TER3 Thehead
Examination ofthehead
This is tailored according to the suspected pathology (injuries, infections, neurological). Various elements make up a comprehensive examination.
Neurological examination cannot be considered in total isolation from the rest of the body. The following should all be considered.
Conscious level:theGlasgow ComaScale
The GCS has three components ( Table 3.1). Afully alert and orientated per­son has a GCS score of 15. Adead body has a GCS score of 3 (notzero).
Paediatric variation of the Glasgow ComaScale
Motor and eye opening same asadult.
Verbal depends on age/ ability— 5- pointscale:
Babbles/ coos/ words as perusual (5)
Less than usual abilit y or spontaneous irritablecry (4)
Inappropriatecrying (3)
Occasionally whimpers/ moans (2)
No response (1).
Cranial nerve examination
This should be undertaken routinely. With practice, a ‘quick cranial nerve sur vey’ can be undertaken in just a few minutes (see Table3.2).
Table3.1 Components ofthe Glasgow Coma Scale (corresponding score inbra ckets)
Eye open ing (EO)
EO spontaneously (4)
EO to spe ech (3)
EO to pai n* (2)
EO none (1)
* Do not te st with supr aorbita l pres sure a s patient will instinc tive ly clos e thei r eyes.
