Abstract:
The first report of growing skull fractures of children was in 1861 by John How ship who noted partial absorption of the right parietal bone, arising from a blow on the head in a child aged 9 months. The cases of cranial defects that develope from fractures of the skull in childhood are not common but post-traumatic arachnoid cyst by delivery forceps had rarely reported in world literature. Consequently the author had a case of post-traumatic arachnoid cyst by delivery forceps with its common features and evaluated on various aspects of this syndrome. This case had been treated by surgery with removal of cyst, cranioplasty and V-P shunt.
