Abstract

Les auteurs rapportent un cas inhabituel de fracture élévation du crâne. Il a été observé chez un patient de 15 ans qui a été reçu pour traumatisme crânio-encéphalique avec coma d’emblée suite à un accident de la voie publique. L’examen clinique avait permis de retrouver une large plaie crânio-encéphalique frontale avec avulsion de l’os en regard, un coma, un déficit hémi-corporel droit et un état de choc. Une intervention chirurgicale a été pratiquée et les sites ont été simples. Le mécanisme de survenue, la prise en charge lésionnelle à court, moyen et long terme est discutée. L’intérêt de cette observation est triple : sa rareté, les étapes de sa prise en charge et sa bonne évolution.

 

ABSTRACT

The authors report a rare case of elevated skull fracture simulating craniectomy. This occurred in a 15 years old boy who was admitted for head trauma secondary to a road traffic accident and immediate loss of consciousness. The patient was comatose and in chock. He had right side hemiplegia and a wide frontal craniocerebral wound with bone avulsion. Surgery was done and the course was unexpectedly uneventful. In this paper, we discuss the lesion mechanism and our management. This case is interesting because of the rareness of the situation and the uneventful course despite the difficult conditions of  surgical practice in our  department.
