Cranial asymmetry secondary to unilateral hemispheric damage during late childhood. Case report.
Skull abnormalities such as unilateral hypertrophy of skull thickness, enlarged sinuses, and elevated petrous ridge with contralateral body hemiatrophy are commonly associated with hemispheric damage that occurs during infancy. The present case emphasizes that such changes may be associated with cortical damage during late childhood.
