Abstract:
The incidence of sports accidents is on the increase. The authors examined the question whether this is also true of craniocerebral injuries during sports activities. For this purpose they studied and assessed all grade I and II craniocerebral injuries treated during 1982 at the departments of Surgery and Neurosurgery at the University of Göttingen. The craniocerebral injuries had a share of 13.5% in the total incidence of Sports accidents. This figure is markedly above the comparative figures quoted so far. The incidence of craniocerebral trauma varies from one sports discipline to another, depending on the popularity of the particular sport. However, a comparison with data published in the literature shows that craniocerebral trauma is the most frequent sports injury in all disciplines in which the head is particularly exposed.

Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View
The frontal bone is the single bone that forms the forehead. At its anterior midline, between the eyebrows, there is a slight depression called the glabella. The frontal bone also forms the supraorbital margin of the orbit. Near the middle of this margin is the supraorbital foramen, the opening that provides passage for a sensory nerve to the forehead. The frontal bone is thickened just above each supraorbital margin,...
