S02.0: Fracture of vault of skull

You have broken bones in your skull.

The bones in the skull are called cranial bones. The cranial bones include the jaw bones, which the teeth sit in. The cranial bones also protect the brain and the sensory organs in the head. These sensory organs include the eyes and nose, for example.

One or more of your cranial bones are broken. The bones at the top of your head may be broken. At the top of the head are the bones of your forehead, temples and the side of your skull.
