Surgical treatment and results in growing skull fracture.

Growing skull fracture is a rare complication of skull fracture and remains almost undetected in the first few years of life. Here, we report a series of 11 patients with growing skull fracture treated at our institute over a period of five years and discuss their clinical features, radiological findings, and principles of management. Of the 11 patients, six were females and five males, with the age ranging between 9 months and 12 years (mean, 3 years).

Giant solitary symptomatic tentorial xanthogranuloma in an adult: a case report.

Intracranial xanthogranuloma usually occurs in association with systemic diseases like histiocytosis X or familial hyperproteinemia or Erdheim-Chester's disease.
