Abstract
Cranial suture diastases are an uncommon clinical entity, with post craniotomy diastases being a previously undescribed finding in literature to our best knowledge. Herein, we report a case of a 28-year-old adult who underwent a second-stage low-grade glioma surgery 7 months after initial surgery. This study presents coronal suture diastases adjacent to the previously performed craniotomy. After literature and pathophysiology review, we found it to be unique and that the craniotomy can resemble the mechanical stress of trauma.
