Trauma cráneo facial moderado, con pérdida de conciencia por tiempo no precisado, con posterior somnolencia marcada, hematomas en región posterior del pabellón derecho (oído - ojo), escariosis múltiples.
Google only gives "desviación de la espina dorsal", but this does not seem to be the case here.

Grading comment
All of the suggestions were of interest. Since this referred to the results of an accident, I liked the idea of lesion.
Obviously, from the responses the Spanish was a bit strange, but they used the word several times, so I doubt that it was a typo.
Thanks for you assistance.

disagree  Bertha S. Deffenbaugh: escariosis is a condition where the patient has escaras. Not the same thing.

scabs??


Explanation:
I can't find escariosis anywhere... Do you think there might be a spelling mistake? If so... it may be "escaras", i.e. scabs. I don't know I'm just guessing here. Let's wait for other opinions.
Good luck.
:-)

Consider mispell --> Abrasions


Explanation:
I agree with my colleagues above, but from this context it's also likely that the writer meant "excoriaciones" in Spanish. In my years as an Intensive Therapy doc, the word "excoriaciones" was much more likely to be encountered in pts. with trauma than the word "escariosis". "Escaras" and "escariosis" are more likely in pts. who remain immobilized for long periods, typically older pts. in hospital beds.

The patient here, instead, seems to be a person found unconscious with multiple lesions, and "excoriaciones múltiples" is a pre-made phrase to refer to abrasions (often accompanied by bruises and contusions) seen in many areas. If the term is 'excoriaciones', the closest word in English is "abrasions".

crusted abrasions


Explanation:
I agree with Elena, but I looked up abrasion and found that the word does not imply any formation of "escaras". Obviously, the outstanding character of these skin lesions is the formation of "escaras". Por tanto, sugiero este híbrido.

multiple ulcerations/ pressure sores // (though consider: 'escabiosis' as well)


Explanation:
Decubitus Ulceration
MeSH definition: An ulceration caused by prolonged pressure in patients permitted to lie too still for a long period of time. The bony prominences of the body are the most frequently affected sites. The ulcer is caused by ischemia of the underlying structures of the skin, fat, and muscles as a result of the sustained and constant pressure.

Seen in the weight-bearing areas of the body during prolonged hospitalisation/ bed confinement.

Scabies (escabiosis)
: "MULTIPLE SCABIES' SORES"

A contagious cutaneous inflammation caused by the bite of the mite SARCOPTES SCABIEI. It is characterized by pruritic papular eruptions and burrows and affects primarily the axillae, elbows, wrists, and genitalia, although it can spread to cover the entire body.

You'll generally see these abrasions/papular eruptions on the arms, hands, armpits and geitalia, but you will also find them on the neck, buttocks, groin and inguinal areas.
