✓ The authors describe three cases of neonatal depressed skull fracture that were elevated by means of an obstetrical vacuum extractor. In one case, a transparent breast pump shield replaced the metal vacuum extractor cup, permitting direct observation as the depression was elevated. Neonatal depressed skull fractures not associated with neurological signs may be safely elevated without surgery using the obstetrical vacuum extractor.

Spontaneous Reduction

Abstract Presented is a single case of a 6-year-old child in whom a closed depressed skull fracture was found to be elevated spontaneously less than 2 days after the injury. There were no cosmetic or neurological sequelae at follow-up. This case demonstrates that these injuries do not always require operation and that they occasionally resolve spontaneously, even in school-age children.
