Growing skull fractures, a rare complication of head injury in young children, require prompt surgical treatment. Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial for preventing further brain damage and achieving excellent outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Neurosurgery
  • Traumatic Brain Injury Research

Background:

  • Growing skull fractures are rare, occurring in 0.05%-0.6% of infants and children under three following severe closed head injury.
  • These fractures often present as a bulging mass and underlying skull defect approximately two months post-trauma.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report on two pediatric cases of growing skull fractures treated at our institution.
  • To emphasize the importance of early diagnosis and surgical intervention for favorable outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Review of two pediatric cases diagnosed with growing skull fractures.
  • Surgical treatment and follow-up assessment of patient outcomes.

Main Results:

  • Both patients presented with characteristic symptoms two months after head injury.

  • Surgical intervention led to excellent results in both cases.

    • Conclusions:

    • Growing skull fractures necessitate vigilant follow-up in at-risk pediatric populations.
    • Timely surgical management is essential to avert progressive neurological damage.
