Sub-aponeurotic scalp fluid collections, often linked to ventouse-assisted delivery, are benign and resolve with conservative treatment. Ultrasound aids in diagnosing these non-neonatal collections.

Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Pediatric Imaging
  • Ultrasound Diagnostics

Background:

  • Sub-aponeurotic fluid collections can occur after the neonatal period.
  • These collections may be associated with specific delivery methods or trauma.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To characterize the radiological findings of sub-aponeurotic fluid collections.
  • To describe the natural history and outcomes of these collections in non-neonatal patients.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of seven cases of sub-aponeurotic scalp fluid collections.
  • Analysis of birth history, radiographic, and ultrasound features.
  • Documentation of clinical presentation, treatment, and follow-up.

Main Results:

  • Seven cases identified, mostly in infants weeks after delivery, often with ventouse-assisted delivery.
  • One case in a child after head trauma.
  • Ultrasound revealed sonolucent fluid collections; no fractures were seen.
  • All cases resolved within 2-24 weeks with conservative management or aspiration.

Conclusions:

  • Sub-aponeurotic scalp collections post-neonatal period are typically benign.
  • Ventouse-assisted delivery is a common association.
  • Ultrasound is a valuable diagnostic tool.
  • Conservative management generally leads to complete resolution without sequelae.
