Abstract

Cephalhematoma is a common entity in infancy, usually caused by difficult labor. On the other hand, calcified cephalhematomas are seen infrequently, even by pediatric neurosurgeons, Indications for surgery and techniques have not been clearly defined. In this report, we present a child with a large, calcified cephalhematoma and discuss its surgical technique.
