AI Article Synopsis
- Nontraumatic congenital neonatal skull depression is a rare condition caused by external forces that shape the fetal skull during pregnancy.
- Most affected newborns show no symptoms and the condition usually resolves on its own within a few months without treatment.
- The case discussed involved a baby with skull depression but no neurological issues, treated conservatively with monitoring and ultrasound instead of a CT scan.
Article Abstract
Nontraumatic congenital neonatal skull depression is a rare condition resulting from external forces shaping the fetal skull. Typically, newborns are asymptomatic, and, usually, the condition resolves in a few months with no need for intervention. However, many newborns undergo a CT scan, an ionizing technique, to check for fractures or intracranial lesions. We report a case of congenital skull depression without neurological deficits, managed conservatively through clinical monitoring and ultrasound.
