RESUMEN
Objetivo: Determinar la incidencia de macrocefalia neonatal en un hospital de tercer nivel en Lima, Perú. Material y Métodos: Se definió macrocefalia en función al perímetro cefálico mayor que el percentil 97 para la edad y sexo. La información fue obtenida de los registros del Sistema Informático Perinatal del Hospital Cayetano Heredia durante el periodo 1º de enero, 2016 a 31 de diciembre, 2017. Se usó la Tabla Fenton para determinar los límites de normalidad. Resultados: Se registraron 210 casos de macrocefalia neonatal y una tasa general de 26 por mil nacidos vivos, inversamente proporcional a la edad gestacional. Conclusiones: la macrocefalia es más frecuente en prematuros, con un factor de riesgo cinco veces mayor en este grupo poblacional.
