title: Epidural hematoma communicating with cephalhematoma in a neonate.
abstract: The author reports a unique case of a neonate with a depressed skull fracture detected immediately below a cephalhematoma complicated with an epidural hematoma. The epidural hematoma communicating with the cephalhematoma through a depressed skull fracture disappeared after the cephalhematoma was punctured for aspiration, and the depressed fracture reduced spontaneously 6 months thereafter.
