    Area of Science:

    • Neonatal care
    • Pediatric infectious diseases
    • Surgical complications

    Background:

    • Cephalhematoma is a common neonatal complication, typically resolving without intervention.
    • Vacuum-assisted delivery and fetal scalp electrode placement are risk factors for cephalhematoma formation.
    • Infection of cephalhematoma, though rare, poses significant risks to the neonate.

    Observation:

    • A neonate developed a cephalhematoma following vacuum extraction and fetal monitoring with a scalp electrode.
    • The cephalhematoma became infected with Escherichia coli (E. coli).

    Findings:

    • Prompt diagnosis and management are essential for infected cephalhematoma.
    • Bacteriological examinations, including hematoma aspirate and blood cultures, are vital for identifying the causative agent and assessing bacteremia.

  • Radiographs of the skull aid in diagnosing local infection.
  • Effective treatment involves a combination of antimicrobial chemotherapy and surgical incision and drainage.

    • Implications:

    • Highlights the importance of vigilant monitoring for infection in neonatal cephalhematomas, especially after operative delivery.
    • Emphasizes the critical role of prompt bacteriological diagnosis and appropriate antimicrobial therapy in managing infected cephalhematomas.
    • Underscores the necessity of surgical intervention alongside antibiotics for successful treatment outcomes.
