ABSTRACT
The authors report a case of growing fracture of the skull, also called as leptomeningeal cyst, in a young boy who presented with symptoms of skull defect, headache, and pulsating mass on right posterior parietal area. Successful duroplasty and cranioplasty with autogenous bone were performed resulting in disappearance of all symptoms. The most significant factor contributing to the growing fracture is an underlying dura tear. A brief review of the relevant literature is also presented.
