A pediatric growing skull fracture, a rare complication of head trauma, involves a skull defect with brain herniation. Surgical repair with cranioplasty and dural plasty is essential for treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Neurosurgery
  • Traumatic Brain Injury
  • Cranial Surgery

Background:

  • Growing skull fracture is a rare complication of pediatric head trauma.
  • It is characterized by progressive enlargement of a linear skull fracture.
  • This condition can lead to brain herniation and neurological deficits.

Observation:

  • An 18-day-old infant sustained a head injury resulting in a linear parietal skull fracture and subarachnoid hemorrhage.
  • The fracture and associated fluid collection enlarged over time, with imaging revealing brain herniation through the defect.

Findings:

  • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) were essential in diagnosing the growing skull fracture, demonstrating the relationship between the fracture, torn dura, enlarged ventricle, and contused brain.

  • The patient underwent cranioplasty with dural plasty for the growing skull fracture.

    • Implications:

    • Cranioplasty with dural repair is an effective treatment for growing skull fractures, leading to an uneventful postoperative recovery.
    • Advanced imaging techniques, including MRI and CT, are vital for the accurate diagnosis and management planning of growing skull fractures.
