| | Age: | <1 Years | |
| | Gender: | N/A | |
| | Region-Organ: | Head-Bones | |
| | Most likely etiology: | physical | |
| | History: | Fall out of the carriage on the left parietal head. | |
| | Pathomorphology or Pathophysiology of this disease : | After 4 weeks, the fracture line appears somewhat widened. This corresponds to marginal resorption zones along the fracture. Therefore, the diagnosis of an expanding fracture (e.g. 2nd to a growing arachnoidal cyst) cannot be solely made by the evidence of a slight widening of the fracture line! A bony callus formation is rarely seen in skull fractures. | |
| | Radiological findings: |
 <- view X-Ray 1
X-Ray 1: Left parietal, a soft linear opacity is seen, without branching and without marginal sclerosis. (Accessory sutures are not present here)
 <- view X-Ray 2
X-Ray 2: Follow-up after 4 weeks: Widening of the line.
| |
| | Diagnosis confirmation: | Total constellation (Consens) | |
| | Which DD would be also possible with the radiological findings: | Enlargening arachnoid cyst | |
