Growing fractures are a rare entity, usually occurring in paediatric age. Localisation at the orbital region is even rarer. We report the case of a growing fracture of the orbital roof with post-traumatic encephalocele in an adult patient, the 1(st) similar case in adulthood at our knowledge. Clinical and neuroimaging aspects are described, underlining the role of MRI in displaying intraorbital encephalocele. Surgical treatment with relevant technical notes is discussed as well.
生长性骨折是一种罕见的病症，通常发生在儿童时期。发生于眼眶区域的情况更为罕见。我们报告一例成年患者眶顶生长性骨折伴创伤后脑膨出的病例，据我们所知，这是成年患者中的首例类似病例。本文描述了其临床和神经影像学表现，强调了MRI在显示眶内脑膨出方面的作用。同时也讨论了相关技术要点的手术治疗方法。
