title: Growing skull fracture. A report of two cases, studied by CT scan.
abstract: We present two cases of growing skull fracture treated at the Children's Hospital in Athens. They have been studied by CT scan, which in both cases clearly showed the herniated brain tissue and its relationship to other brain structures. The possibility of an early operation, if there is contused and oedematous brain related to the diastatic fracture, is discussed.
