Growing Skull Fracture and the Orbitocranial Variant: Nuances of Surgical Management.
TL;DR: Duraplasty is essential in the repair of GSF and should be followed by cranioplasty to prevent recurrent leptomeningeal herniation, and the use of autologous bone from the surgical site for crANIoplasty is recommended.

Growing skull fractures of the orbital roof: a multicentric experience with 28 patients
TL;DR: Orbital roof GSF should be considered among the differential diagnoses in pediatric patients with history of head trauma presenting with ocular and/or neurological manifestations, and duraplasty is mandatory in all cases, whereas cranioplasty is required mainly in cases with large bony defects more than 25 mm.
