摘要

Background

Growing skull fractures (GSF) represent a rare complication following linear traumatic skull fractures with an underlying dural tear, mainly occurring during infancy and early childhood. GSF can cause encephalocele, hydrocephalus, or encephalomalacia, potentially leading to long-term neurological sequelae. Therefore, prompt diagnosis and early treatment is paramount.

Methods

We outline our surgical reconstruction technique for managing GSF.

Conclusion

GSF is effectively treated with a dural and bony reconstruction, using a fast-resorbable polymer mesh.
