Abstract

Background

Growing skull fractures (GSF) represent a rare complication following linear traumatic skull fractures with an underlying dural tear, mainly occurring during infancy and early childhood. GSF can cause encephalocele, hydrocephalus, or encephalomalacia, potentially leading to long-term neurological sequelae. Therefore, prompt diagnosis and early treatment is paramount.

Methods

We outline our surgical reconstruction technique for managing GSF.

Conclusion

GSF is effectively treated with a dural and bony reconstruction, using a fast-resorbable polymer mesh.

颅骨骨折的外科治疗：我是怎么做的

背景：生长性颅骨骨折（GSF）是线性外伤性颅骨骨折并发硬脑膜撕裂的罕见并发症，主要发生在婴儿期和幼儿期。GSF可引起脑膨出、脑积水或脑软化，可能导致长期的神经系统后遗症。因此，及时诊断和早期治疗至关重要。方法总结外科手术重建治疗胫腓骨髓瘤的方法。结论采用快速可吸收的聚合物网片进行硬脑膜和骨重建，可有效治疗脑脊炎。

期刊介绍： The journal "Acta Neurochirurgica" publishes only original papers useful both to research and clinical work. Papers should deal with clinical neurosurgery - diagnosis and diagnostic techniques, operative surgery and results, postoperative treatment - or with research work in neuroscience if the underlying questions or the results are of neurosurgical interest. Reports on congresses are given in brief accounts. As official organ of the European Association of Neurosurgical Societies the journal publishes all announcements of the E.A.N.S. and reports on the activities of its member societies. Only contributions written in English will be accepted.
