Non-traumatic skull defects in children are an etiologically heterogenous group. They usually occur as a result of a congenital developmental defect in the cranial closure or are caused by a pathological process. They may be palpable as a pulsating bulging of the skull, or may be an accidental finding on X-ray scan. Their severity depends on whether the defect is only in the bone or is an open cleft defect, and in the case of bone defects it is further dependent on the etiology of the process. In this article we will focus only on non-traumatic bone defects of the skull in children.
