They are relatively uncommon: roughly 4% of severe head-injury cases and about 19–21% of all skull fractures are basilar fractures. Half of basilar fractures involve neck pain and have associated intracranial injury (e.g. epidural hematoma) and ~10% involve a cervical spine fracture. In a large series, basilar fractures were predominantly in young adults (≈80% &lt;40 years) and overwhelmingly male (≈3:1).
