ABSTRACT
A case of acute epidural hematoma associated with depressed skull fracture and cephalhematoma resolved spontaneously within three days, is reported. A female neonate was admitted for the evaluation of convulsion developed on the next day after delivery. Computed tomography(CT) revealed epidural hematoma and overlying cephalhematoma on the left parietal region. Repeated CT scan after three days showed total resolution of epidural hemotoma and slight enlargement of cephalhematoma. Redistribution of hematoma through communication between epidural hemotoma and cephalhematoma is suggested as the mechanism of spontaneous rapid resolution of epidural hemotoma.
