Résumé
In this article, three cases of neonatal depressed skull fracture were successfully elevated by means of an obstetrical vacuum extractor. No complications from the procedure were observed. Neonatal depressed skull fractures which are not associated with neurological signs may be safely elevated without surgery by using the obstetrical vacuum extractor. This simple, atraumatic procedure should be considered first for the management of uncomplicated depressed skull fracture in the newborn.
