The author presents two cases of compound elevated fractures of the skull and discusses the mechanics of their production. These lesions, seldom recognized in modern clinical practice, are first described in the oldest scientific and surgical treatise known, the Edwin Smith Surgical Papyrus, over 5000 years ago.
