Fracture of vault of skull
Fracture of base of skull
Fracture of face bones
Other and unqualified skull fractures
Multiple fractures involving skull or face with other bones

The following fifth-digit subclassification is for use with the appropriate codes in categories 800, 801, 803, and 804:
0 unspecified state of consciousness
1 with no loss of consciousness
2 with brief [less than one hour] loss of consciousness
3 with moderate [1-24 hours] loss of consciousness
4 with prolonged [more than 24 hours] loss of consciousness and return to pre-existing conscious level
5 with prolonged [more than 24 hours] loss of consciousness, without return to pre-existing conscious level
Use fifth-digit 5 to designate when a patient is unconscious and dies before regaining consciousness, regardless of the duration of the loss of consciousness
6 with loss of consciousness of unspecified duration
9 with concussion, unspecified
