Fracture throughtsphenobasion and lamboidal suture.

$Cranial base with ring fracture. Basal skull fractures usually cause death or severe neurological damage. Following the fracture, there is hyperflexion of the neck or anterior traction of the skull. In this sample the fracture line runs paralell at the lambdoidal suture. Also note a fracture in anterior part of the occipital and vomer.$
