title: [Depressed skull fracture in the newborn infant. To operate or not?].
abstract: In recent literature the question of the convenience of neurosurgical treatment of cranial depressed fracture of the newborn has been a subject of discussion. The authors review their experience with 4 cases of this condition, that stress the necessity of the operation. Most reported series have dealt with the short-term results of the different ways of treatment. In this article the outcome is evaluated at least 10 years after surgery.
