Abstract

Growing skull fracture (GSF) is a rare complication of cranio-cerebralinjuries in infants and children under three years of age. Falls and bluntforce head trauma are the most frequent causes of head injuries. GSFusually results from a linear calvarial fracture, however, it may alsooccur due to a closed-head injury. The most common symptom is scalpswelling without progressive tenderness or pain. The most commonsite of GSF is the parietal region. GSF may cause epilepsy, neurologicdisorders and calvarial asymmetry. Duraplasty in early period of GSFis recommended in order to have better results. Here, we report a15-month-old girl with parietal bone fracture who was followed closelyboth clinically and radiologically and underwent surgical repair of GSFand enlargement of the dural defect

Özet

Büyüyen kafatası kırıkları (GSF); yenidoğan ve üç yaş altı çocuklarda, kafatası ve serebral travma sonrası oldukça nadiren ortaya çıkan komplikasyonlardır. Kaza şekli çoğunlukla yüksekten düşme veya ağır bir obje ile çarpışma sonrası oluşan kafatası yaralanmasıdır. Genellikle düz kafatası kırıklarından oluşmakla birlikte, kapalı kafa travmasında da oluşur. En önemli semptom; saçlı deride, ilerleyici hassasiyeti veya ağrısı olmayan şişliktir. Parietal bölge en sık lokalizasyondur. GSF nörolojik defisitin ilerlemesine ve kraniyal asimetriye neden olur. GSF’de erken dönemde cerrahi olarak dura yırtık tamiri yapılması klinik sonuçların daha iyi olması için önerilmektedir. Bu çalışmada, parietal kemik kırığını klinik ve radyolojik olarak yakından takip ettiğimiz 15 aylık bir kız çocuğu sunulmaktadır. Altı ay sonra, GSF ve dura yırtığının genişledigi gözlendi. Cerrahi onarım yapıldı.
