The mean age of the patients was 19.85 years, most of our patients were males 27 (79.4%), and isolated head trauma was the most common mode of trauma (76.5%). The superior sagittal sinus (SSS) was distinguished as the most commonly involved venous sinus below the fractures in 28 patients (82.4%). An intraoperative tear in the sinus was found in 17 patients (50%), which was easily controlled with different methods. In two patients who had a severe head injury with a Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score of \u22648 associated with a fissure fracture crossing the sinus, there was a complete tear of the sinus followed by massive bleeding, which required sinus ligation. We lost both of them in following days.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Conclusion\u2003In experienced tertiary neurotrauma centers, compound depressed fractures over the venous sinuses should be surgically elevated in most cases, taking into consideration that bleeding from the sinus can be controlled in most cases, and complete tear of the sinus with massive bleeding is the least scenario faced in reality and is usually associated with a severe head injury. If expert opinion favors the conservative approach, then close follow-up for months is recommended due to the high possibility of sinus thrombosis and intracranial hypertension, especially in children.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0044-1790607","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,30]],"date-time":"2024-09-30T23:02:26Z","timestamp":1727737346000},"page":"741-752","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Management of Compound Depressed Fractures over Venous Sinuses"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Mohammad","family":"Elbaroody","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Faculty of Medicine, Cairo University, Egypt"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ahmed A.","family":"Marei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Faculty of Medicine, Cairo University, Egypt"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Karim Fathy","family":"Sawy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Faculty of Medicine, Cairo University, Egypt"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alaa Eldin","family":"Mahmoud","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Faculty of Medicine, Cairo University, Egypt"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mark Charl","family":"Amin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Faculty of Medicine, Cairo University, Egypt"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Amr A.M.","family":"Elkatatny","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Faculty of Medicine, Cairo University, Egypt"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hazem Abd Al","family":"badea","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Faculty of Medicine, Cairo University, Egypt"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,30]]},"reference":[{"issue":"02","key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"121","DOI":"10.1016\/j.surneu.2003.10.048","article-title":"Compound depressed skull fractures involving a venous sinus","volume":"62","author":"D LeFeuvre","year":"2004","journal-title":"Surg Neurol"},{"issue":"7576","key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"991","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(68)91293-2","article-title":"Complications of depressed skull fracture","volume":"2","author":"J D Miller","year":"1968","journal-title":"Lancet"},{"issue":"01","key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"17","DOI":"10.4103\/1793-5482.151503","article-title":"Management of superior sagittal sinus injury encountered in traumatic head injury patients: analysis of 15 cases","volume":"10","author":"S K Behera","year":"2015","journal-title":"Asian J Neurosurg"},{"issue":"02","key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"118","DOI":"10.13004\/kjnt.2015.11.2.118","article-title":"Traumatic dural venous sinus injury","volume":"11","author":"Y-S Kim","year":"2015","journal-title":"Korean J Neurotrauma"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1177","DOI":"10.21608\/ejhm.2021.161776","article-title":"Management of compound depressed fractures over major cranial venous sinuses","volume":"83","author":"M A Abdelaal","year":"2021","journal-title":"Egypt J Hosp Med"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"91","DOI":"10.1007\/BF01541788","article-title":"The traumatic dural sinus injury: a clinical study","volume":"119","author":"U Meier","year":"1992","journal-title":"Acta Neurochir (Wien)"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2587","DOI":"10.21608\/mjcu.2019.54874","article-title":"Compound depressed fracture over dural venous sinuses: experience of 22 surgically treated cases","volume":"87","author":"K I Abdel-Aziz","year":"2019","journal-title":"Med J Cairo Univ"},{"issue":"02","key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"137","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jemermed.2005.03.006","article-title":"Depressed fractures over cranial venous sinus","volume":"29","author":"F D \u00d6zer","year":"2005","journal-title":"J Emerg Med"},{"issue":"06","key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"830","DOI":"10.4103\/0028-3886.59500","article-title":"Simple depressed skull fracture causing posterior third superior sagittal sinus occlusion and elevated intracranial pressure","volume":"57","author":"Y R Yadav","year":"2009","journal-title":"Neurol India"},{"issue":"05","key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"849","DOI":"10.3171\/jns.2006.104.5.849","article-title":"Persistent intracranial hypertension caused by superior sagittal sinus stenosis following depressed skull fracture.
