Abstract
Growing skull fractures (GSF) are rare complications of head trauma. C ases after childhood are extremely rare and demonstrate complicated pa thological conditions which necessitate extensive treatment. We report on two rare cases of intracranial cysts related to growing skull frac tures which are secondary to trauma sustained during childhood, and ha ve been discovered in adolescence.
