Management and outcome of spontaneous subaponeurotic fluid collections in infants: the Hospital for Sick Children experience and review of the literature in: Journal of Neurosurgery: Pediatrics Volume 18 Issue 4 (2016) Journals
We report two infants, who had scalp swelling, with findings suggestive of SFC that resolved spontaneously.
The authors report on series of infants who presented to the Hospital for Sick Children HSC with SSFC, focusing on the natural history of this condition.
Unlike a cephalohematoma, which is restricted by the subperiosteal space and its attachments at the cranial sutures, subaponeurotic fluid crosses suture lines and may extend anteriorly to the orbital ridges and posteriorly to the nape of the neck.
