Description
Ango and five co-authors report a growing skull fracture case with literature review, in work from twenty twenty-six. A growing skull fracture is a rare late problem after a linear skull break in young children. It needs a torn dura, the brain covering, with brain or membrane tissue pushing through.
Their patient was a child of fifteen months who broke the skull at one month of age. Fourteen months later a pulsatile scalp swelling appeared, with weakness on the opposite side. Surgical management is described alongside the literature. Delayed presentation is the lesson: infant skull fractures need long follow up.
