Abstract

Objective: Cephalohematoma is the most frequent cranial injury in the newborn, occurring in 0,2-3% of live births. It is a collection of blood between the periosteum and the skull. The aim of this study is to examine the patients who were consulted to us from the neonatal clinic. Method: 423 neonates with cephalohematoma were retrospectively anayzed referred to the neurosurgery clinic with a diagnosis of cephalohematoma between July 2016 and December 2018. Patients were evaluated according to gender, the location and persistence time of cephalhematoma, type of birth and treatment modality. Results: Among 423 newborns admitted to our clinic between July 2016 and December 2018, 237 (56,02%) were female and 186 (43,98%) were male. The mean gestational week at birth was 38,9±1,2. All babies were examined monthly, and completely resorption of the cephalhematoma observed in 393 (92%) of the patients within first month while 21 (%5) of the patients within second month. Only 9 (2%) patient cephalohematoma persisted over 2 months and has been calcified. Only 1 (%0,23) of these patients with calcified cephalohematoma persisted over 1 year and required surgery for cosmetic reason. Conclusion: Though a frequently encountered lesion cephalhematoma, usually disappears spontaneously within a few months without any cosmetic problems. Age and clinical examination are important in the treatment strategy of the patient. Calcified cephalhematoma is rarely seen. Surgical treatment should only be performed for cosmetic purposes after one year from birth.

Özet

Amaç: Sefal hematom bebeklerin %0,2-3’ünde görülen, genellikle parietal bölgede oluşan, sütür çizgileriyle belirgin olarak sınırlanmış periost altı kanamadır. Yaptığımız bu çalışmada, yenidoğan kliniğinden tarafımıza konsülte edilen hastaların değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem: Çalışmamızda Kanuni Sultan Süleyman Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi Beyin Cerrahisi Kliniği’ne Temmuz 2016 - Aralık 2018 tarihleri arasında sefal hematom tanısı ile yönlendirilen 423 yenidoğan retrospektif olarak tarandı. Hastalar cinsiyet, sefal hematomun oluştuğu bölge, emilim zamanı, doğum şekli ve tedavilerine göre değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Sefal hematomlu 423 yenidoğanın 237’si (%56,02) kız, 186’sı (%43,98) erkek bebekti. Doğum haftası ortalama 38,9±1,2 hafta idi. Bebeklerin 393’ünde (%92) 1. ay kontrolünde, 21’inde 2. ay kontrolünde hematomun tamamen rezorbe olduğu gözlendi. Dokuz hastada kalsifikasyon oluştu ve 1. yıl kontrollerinde bu hastalardan 8’inin kalsifiye dokusunun rezorbe olduğu gözlendi. Bir (%0,23) hastada kalsifiye dokuda azalma olmadığı ve kozmetik amaçlı opere edildiği saptandı. Sonuç: Sefal hematom sıklıkla rastlansa da birkaç ay içinde herhangi bir kozmetik sorun olmadan kendiliğinden kaybolan lezyonlardır. Bebeğin yaşı ve klinik muayenesi tedavi stratejisinde önemlidir. Kalsifiye sefal hematom nadir görülen bir klinik durumdur. Cerrahi tedavi yalnızca kozmetik amaçlı bir yaşından sonra yapılmalıdır.
