5y MC Pomeranian hit by a car earlier in the day. There is a depression fracture of the left
side of the calvarium involving the interparietal suture (small arrow), the right parietal bone
(large arrow), and the right parietotemporal suture (arrowhead). The dog also sustained
multiple fractures involving the mandible, resulting in the asymmetry seen here. Additional
CT or MR imaging is indicated to evaluate the extent of intracranial trauma.

5y MC Domestic Shorthair that sustained trauma of unknown cause within the past 48 hours. This cat sustained a number of skull
fractures commonly associated with high‐impact trauma. Representative images are ordered from rostral to caudal. Injuries include a
fracture–luxation involving the nasal and maxillary bones (a: arrow), mandibular symphyseal separation (b: arrow), fractures of the
perpendicular processes of the palatine bones (c: arrows), separation of the palatine symphysis (c: arrowhead), fractures of the pterygoid
bones (d: arrows), caudal luxation of the right condyloid process (e: arrowhead), and a fracture through the zygomatic process of the left
temporal bone (e: arrow).
