A Suboccipital “Ping Pong Like” Fracture Indenting in the Posterior Fossa: A Case Report

1. Abstract
“Ping pong” or depressed greenstick fractures of the skull are well described in newborns and infants. While the traumatic deformations are usually located in the frontal and parietal region. We present a case of a 3-year-old boy with a suboccipital ping-pong like skull fracture indenting in the posterior fossa, resulting in a complex traumatic brain injury with prolonged weaning. The fracture was elevated via a single burr hole, the patient recovered completely with no clinical sequelae.
