Abstract

Congenital frontal bone defects are rare and are often incidentally diagnosed. We present a case of a 7-year girl who presented with frontal scalp swelling post-trivial trauma in school. Computed tomography of the brain revealed Extradural hematoma in the frontal region in the midline with overlying bony defects in the frontal bone and scalp hematoma.
