Background: Leptomeningeal cysts are a rare complication of childhood fractures, being very rare in
adulthood and usually related to previous trauma generated in children.
Case Presentation: We present a case of “growing fracture” in a 70-year-old woman with a history of head
injury in childhood, who clinically debuted with paresthesia-dysesthesia in the left hemicranium and
hypersensitivity and pain in the affected area, and who was treated with surgical treatment.
Conclusion: We review the pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of this injury today.
