A 12-year old girl presented 6 months after a forehead injury due to fall from height. She had a deformed forehead with a rectangular bone defect and a rectangular bicortical bone fragment impacted into the lower edge of the defect. There was no obvious skin or dural injury. The deformed forehead was exposed through a bi-coronal scalp flap. The bone fragment was reposited back into the defect. The forehead of the patient healed with a smooth contour.
