What are some examples of low energy trauma?
A low energy trauma is usually defined as a fall from a standing or sitting position, although walking into a pipe probably qualifies. If the indentation on the side of your head runs roughly up and down, then it is more likely you are feeling a suture line (where the skull plates meet) than a fracture. I don’t know about asymptomatic skull fractures – it seems to me it would be tender and cause at the least a lingering headache.
