“…Scalp swellings are common in infants and have recently been reviewed by Williams et al 1. The most common scalp swellings are caput succedaneum and cephalhaematoma and both are more commonly associated with instrumental delivery or difficult labour.…”

“…The growth of the skull is driven by the growth of the underlying brain, which reaches 90% of adult size in the first year and 95% of adult size by 6 years of age [Williams, 2008]. The mature skull has two main components: the neurocranium and the viscerocranium.…”

Craniosynostosis, the premature ossification of one or more skull sutures, is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous congenital anomaly affecting approximately 1 in 2,500 live births. In most cases, it occurs as an isolated congenital anomaly, i.e. nonsyndromic craniosynostosis (NCS), the genetic and environmental causes of which remain largely unknown. Recent data suggest that at least some of the midline NCS cases may be explained by two loci inheritance. In approximately 25–30% of patients craniosynostosis presents as a feature of a genetic syndrome due to chromosomal defects or mutations in genes within interconnected signaling pathways. The aim of this review is to provide a detailed and comprehensive update on the genetic and environmental factors associated with NCS, integrating the scientific findings achieved during the last decade. Focus on the neurodevelopmental, imaging and treatment aspects of NCS is also provided.

“…Treatments that have been used successfully in faulty fetal packing include surgical elevation, manual elevation using digital pressure at the sides of the depression, suction elevation with a breast pump or vacuum extractor 2. However, as this case and a number of other case reports4–6 have shown a full and spontaneous resolution of the depression often occurs over the first few months of life, without leaving any cosmetic or neurodevelopmental sequelae, so simple observation is our preferred approach.…”
