Complication of Linear Skull Fracture in Young Children

Growing Skull Fracture of Temporal Bone in Adults: A Case Report and Literature Review

“…Diastasis of sutures without any other bone fractures was also observed in one case. 14 The most common physical sign was progressive enlarging swelling of scalp, accounting for over one-third of all cases (n ¼ 24, 34.3%), followed by nonpulsatile mass (n ¼ 12, 17.1%) and palpable cranial defect (n ¼ 9, 12.9%). Besides, loss of consciousness immediately after head trauma occurred in over one-third of patients (n ¼ 22, 31.4%), with the duration ranging from several minutes to more than 10 weeks.…”

Correlation of Fracture Depression Level and Dural Tear in Patients With Depressed Skull Fracture

“…2,3,15,16 Depressed skull fracture is secondary to low-velocity blunt trauma, which is mostly seen on the frontoparietal region because of bone thinness. Cranial fracture may cause intracranial hematoma and brain and meningeal injury.…”

Computerized tomographic findings in children with head trauma in a Nigerian tertiary hospital.

“…A rare complication of a linear fracture may occur when a leptomeningeal cyst or the so called growing fracture develops. 18,19 In such cases a calvarial defect develops and neurologic complications, especially seizures, may occur. 18,19 Intracranial haemorrhage occurred in 29.5% of patients in our study with the intracerebral variety occurring in 20.5%, subdural 0.5% (4 patients) and epidural 0.5%.…”

The presence of midline shift on CT and subdural hematoma has been found to be strong evidence for predicting outcome at 6 months.…”
