INTRODUCTION: An uncommon complication of @entity174 in infancy is a @entity145 , which is also known as a growing skull @entity174 . A post traumatic @entity145 may occur in adults, but is much rarer and may be attributed to a @entity174 of the skull which occurred in childhood. This complication is caused by a tear in the dura mater, through which pulsation of the cerebro spinal fluid forces the arachnoid layer to herniate. The commonest clinical finding is a soft tissue swelling or @entity5 appearing on the head. CLINICAL CASE: We report the case of a 47 year old @entity1 , with a past history of a @entity542 in childhood. He presented complaining of @entity1109 in the right arm and deviation of the mouth, from which he recovered within an hour. Neuro imaging studies showed irregular destruction of the right temporal bone and hypodensity of the underlying brain tissue. Surgical operation and histological study of the bone removed showed that it was a @entity145 , associated with a @entity385 at the site of an old skull @entity174 . CONCLUSIONS: A post traumatic @entity145 in an adult @entity1 is caused by a tear in the dura mater caused by a skull @entity174 during childhood. It may be associated with a @entity385 . It may present with only transient focal @entity16 .
