Abstract

Elevated fractures of the skull, which are rarely reported in the literature, are always compound, have maximal neurological deficits at presentation and have been reported only in adults. We report two cases of elevated skull fractures in the pediatric age group, one of which was a simple elevated fracture and presented with delayed neurological deterioration. The etiologies were a fall in first case and an animal attack (bear maul) in the second case as reported for the first time. One of the cases presented with delayed onset of left focal hemispheric signs. The first case underwent debridement, duraplasty and reduction of fracture whereas in the second case the bone flap was not replaced immediately because of gross contamination. Both patients had an excellent outcome. Elevated skull fractures are not uncommon in the pediatric age group. Compound elevated skull fractures should be managed early as open depressed fractures. Reduction of a simple elevated fracture presenting with neurological deficits not explained by any other lesion can result in a good outcome.

Özet

Literatürde nadir bildirilen kafatasının kalkmış kırıkları her zaman bileşik kırıklardır, maksimum nörolojik defisitleri vardır ve sadece yetişkinlerde rapor edilmişlerdir. Biz burada pediatrik yaş grubunda iki kalkmış kafatası kırığı rapor ediyoruz. Bunlardan biri basit kalkmış kafatası kırığıdır ve gecikmiş nörolojik kötüleşmeyle gelmiştir. İki olgu da pediatrik yaş grubundadır. Etiyolojiler birinci olguda düşme ve ikinci olguda ise ilk kez rapor edilen bir hayvan saldırısıdır (ayı pençesi). Olgulardan biri gecikmiş sol fokal hemisferik bulgularla prezente olmuştur. Birinci olguda debridman, duraplasti ve kırığın yerine yerleştirilmesi yapılmış, ikinci olguda ise kemik flep yaygın kontaminasyondan dolayı hemen yerine konmamıştır. Her iki hastanın da sonuçları mükemmel olmuştur. Kalkmış kafatası kırıkları pediatrik yaş grubunda nadir değildir. Bileşik kalkmış kafatası kırıkları açık çökme kırıkları gibi erken tedavi edilmelidirler. Başka bir lezyonla açıklanamayan nörolojik defisitle gelen basit kalkmış kırığın redüksiyonu iyi sonuç verebilir.
