Abstract

Epidural hematoma (EDH) is relatively rare in newborn infants and frequently associated with instrumental deliveries or other complications during labor and delivery. Although surgical evacuation has been the most common therapy, many other procedures have been suggested. Although many epidural hematomas require surgical evacuation rather than non-surgical management, the conservatiob or aspiration of hematoma have been attempted. In the case of EDH associated with cephalhematoma, aspiration of cephalhematoma could be attempted because frequent features of these combination were communication between these hematoma. We report a case of successful nonsurgical management for epidural hematoma through the aspiration of accompanying cephalhematoma in a five-day-old newborn infant.

가와사끼병은 대부분 급성 전신성 질환으로 나타나지만 드물게 편도 주위 농양, 인두 주위 농양, 인두 후부 농양 등 두경부 응급 질환의 양상으로 발현될 수 있다. 이러한 비전형적 임상 양상으로 나타날 경우 인두 주변부 농양에 대한 수술적 조치를 결정하기 전에 가와사끼병을 정확하게 진단하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 저자들은 인두 후부 농양으로 발현된 가와사끼병 1례를 경험하였기에 보고하는 바이다.
