Abstract
A vise for producing crushing injuries of cadaver skulls is described. Bilateral temporal crush displaced the petrous bone from the great wing of the sphenoid and from the squamous temporal bone along the petrosquamous fissure in 9 cases. Antero-posterior crush produced anterior fossa fractures, notably of the cribriform plate. Inconstant fractures are described for each type of compression. Comparison is made with 15 case reports of crushing skull injuries.Keywords
