摘要：

Purpose: An unusual complication following severe head trauma in two infants is described. Method: ` Acute traumatic encephalocele' or ` extracalvarial herniation' is presented as an entity, different from ` growing skull fracture'. Results: The acuteness of presentation and non-progressive calvarial fracture aperture, along with increasing size of herniated contents is the hall-mark of such pathology. Conclusion: Repair of dural defect with a patch after excision of gliosed brain provides satisfactory outcome.
