Abstract
Six cases in which cerebral herniation was a pertinent feature of growing skull fractures in children are presented. While the authors agree that dural and arachnoidal tears are necessary for the inception of the growing skull fracture, they wish to emphasize the frequent involvement of herniated brain tissue in the fracture. Angiography is essential in the preoperative evaluation of these patients, and surgery must be planned accordingly when cerebral tissue is involved.
