“…Rarely, and primarily in children under 3 years of age [2], so-called growing skull fractures (GSFs) or leptomeningeal cysts may develop. The factors thought to be necessary for this to occur are a cranial bone defect, an underlying dural tear and an expanding intracranial process such as rapid brain growth resulting from normal neurodevelopment [2,3,4,5,6]. In children with a GSF, there is progressive widening of the fracture, herniation of the leptomeninges and, ultimately, if left untreated, herniation of the underlying brain parenchyma.…”
