Clivus fracture (CF), which is usually reported to accompany with head trauma, has high mortality rates. Early diagnosis of CF is rare because of high mortality rates and inadequate urgent radiologic techniques; however, diagnosis rates are increasing with computed tomography images obtained in high resolution and thin sections. In this article, radiologic and clinical features of 2 patients who were detected to have longitudinal CF after head trauma are presented and accompanying pathologies and its importance for prognosis are discussed under the light of literature data composed of a small number of reports.
颅底裂缝骨折（CF）通常与头部外伤有关，其死亡率较高。由于死亡率高和紧急放射技术不足，CF 的早期诊断较为罕见；但是，随着获得高分辨率和薄层的计算机断层扫描图像，诊断率正在提高。在本文中，我们介绍了 2 例头部外伤后发现纵向 CF 的患者的放射学和临床特征，并结合少数报道组成的文献资料讨论了伴随的病理及其对预后的重要性。
