AbstractWe present a case of a growing skull fracture in adult male, with an interval of 43 years after initial trauma. This finding is extremely rare, especially because growing skull fractures are mostly seen as an uncommon complication of pediatric head trauma with calvarial fracture. In our patient, this finding was incidental, existed for many years, and had no clinical consequences. Therefore, we advised a conservative treatment for our patient.Copyright © 2016 Elsevier Inc.
