Ossified cephalhematoma is a rare congenital condition that may be found if newborn cephalhematoma is not resolved. Here, however, the authors report an exceptional case of an 8-month-old baby presenting with an ossified cephalhematoma in the right parieto-occipital area. Pre-operative imaging showed a calcified subperiosteal hematoma. He underwent hematoma excision with bone contouring procedures. A histopathological study showed hemosiderin-laden macrophages with blood and pseudocyst walls. The authors also discuss the possible pathogenesis of the ossified cephalhematoma and its treatment.
骨化性头颅血肿是一种罕见的先天性疾病，如果新生儿头颅血肿未得到解决，可能会出现这种情况。然而，在这里，作者报告了一例 8 个月大的婴儿在右顶枕区出现骨化性头颅血肿的特殊病例。术前影像学显示骨膜下血肿钙化。他接受了血肿切除术和骨整形手术。组织病理学研究显示含铁血黄素的巨噬细胞伴有血液和假囊肿壁。作者还讨论了骨化性头颅血肿的可能发病机制及其治疗方法。
