Abstract
|
|
|
|
Depressed skull fracture is an inward buckling of the skull bones. It is referred to as a ping-pong fracture in neonates. It is usually not associated with significant neurological injury. However cosmetic concerns persist. Obstetrical vacuum extractor is a less invasive procedure than other treatment modalities. The vacuum extraction is especially warranted for the obstetricians, because the ping-pong fractures are mainly found immediately after birth. We describe cases of ping-pong fracture successfully treated by obstetrical vacuum extractor with review of literature.
