Location in the posterior fossa and intradiploic development of a GSF is very uncommon. We report a 7-year-old boy with a large, 9x7x4-cm, occipital intradiploic GSF. The lesion developed progressively over a period of 5 years following a documented occipital linear fracture. This case of a GSF developing from a known occipital linear fracture demonstrates that a GSF may reach a considerable size and, although uncommon, intradiploic development and occipital localization of a GSF is possible.en10.1007/s00247-005-0012-2info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessSkullFractureComplicationGrowing Skull FractureLeptomeningeal CystChildLeptomeningeal CystMeningoencephaloceleArticle3616870Q3WOS:0002344814000132-s2.0-3324448106516249888Q2
