TREATMENT OF CALCIFIED CEPHALHEMATOMA

THIS IS A case report concerning the surgical treatment of a calcified cephalohematoma, which was possibly caused by an intrauterine fetal m onitor. This is the first report of this particular entity as a compli cation of an intrauterine fetal monitor. As far as we can determine, t here is no detailed information available about surgical decision maki ng or surgical techniques for removing such lesions. We operated becau se of the size and persistence of the lesion. We developed a procedure in which we used the bony cap of the cephalohematoma for a cranioplas ty, securing it with microplates.
