Neonatal subperiosteal cephalohematoma crossing a synostosed sagittal suture.
A newborn boy, born at term by a spontaneous delivery, presented in the first day of life with a soft-tissue mass across a synostosed segment of the sagittal suture. In the following week the mass became better defined and showed peripheral calcifications consistent with a calcified subperiosteal hematoma.
