Abstract

Although the first intradiploic hematoma (IH) case was reported in 1934, only 7 infant cases were reported in the literature. The authors present 2 IH cases, without birth trauma or bleeding disorder, which were treated surgically. IH is also included in the differential diagnosis of babies with a skull deformity. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging modalities should be used together in diagnosis and treatment. The authors believe that the surgery to treat skull deformity because of IH in babies should be planned in the early period.
