Fracture of the anterior skull base can occur following head injury. Growing skull fracture is usually observed in children under age of 3-years. It commonly involves frontal and parietal regions. However, orbit involvement is extremely uncommon. Authors report a case of giant orbital encephalocele with a forehead disfiguring swelling in a 4-years boy, who sustained head injury about 3½ years back. However, such delayed presentation of traumatic encephalocele is extremely uncommon and represents the first case in the Western literature, who had a successful postoperative outcome.
前颅底骨折可发生于头部受伤后。生长性颅骨骨折通常见于3岁以下儿童。它通常累及额部和顶叶区域。然而，累及眼眶极为罕见。作者报告了1例4岁男孩，因约3年半前头部受伤，出现巨大眼眶脑膨出伴前额毁容性肿胀。然而，这种创伤性脑膨出的延迟表现极为罕见，是西方文献中的首例，术后效果良好。
