A rare complication of skull fracture that may develop when there is a linear fracture of the skull with separation of the edges of the fracture and laceration of the dura mater. The arachnoid membrane can be trapped between the edges of the fracture. When this happens, the natural pulsation of the brain causes erosion of the bony skull. This complication can occur in adults, but it is most often seen following fracture of the skull in infants and young children.
