Abstract
A growing skull fracture (GSF) is a fracture that gradually widens as the arachnoid membrane or brain parenchyma herniates into the fractured space in a skull fracture accompanied by dural injury. GSF has a good prognosis if diagnosed early and treated surgically. However, it is generally a chronic complication with low incidence, making diagnosis difficult. Here, we present the case of a 13-month-old female infant who underwent surgical intervention for a GSF that grew rapidly within 3 weeks with a good outcome.
