Meningitis itself does not directly cause a fractured skull; rather, it is an inflammation of the protective membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord, typically due to infection. However, if meningitis results from a traumatic event, such as a head injury, the trauma could lead to both a skull fracture and meningitis. Additionally, certain complications of meningitis, like increased intracranial pressure, may indirectly contribute to other types of brain injury, but they do not cause fractures.
