Linear skull fractures of the parietal bone are the most common skull fracture and result from both accidental and inflicted head injuries. Multiple, complex, diastatic, and depressed skull fractures suggest high-energy trauma and may be more suspicious for inflicted injury (physical abuse) depending on the patient age, the presenting clinical context, and the developmental ability of the child, i.e. if present in pre-ambulant (usually less than 12 months of age) or non-mobile infants.
