Abstract
Growing fracture of the skull is a rare complication following head injury. The case history of a child with such a fracture, who developed a leptomeningeal cyst, is presented. The unusual features of this case are discussed in the light of previous reports. The usefulness of computerized tomography in obviating the need for more invasive preoperative investigations is demonstrated.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
