Abstract


RÉSUMÉ
Les bosses sur le scalp sont assez fréquentes en périnatalité, et témoignent souvent d’un traumatisme obstétrical. Nous décrivons un nouveau-né présentant des bosses du scalp, massives, bilatérales, au décours d’un accouchement vaginal eutocique. Le pronostic vital a été menacé par une anémie sévère et une coagulopathie secondaire. Le patient a bénéficié de photothérapie, vitamine K, d’antibiothérapie et de multiples transfusions sanguines. La prise en charge neurochirurgicale a permis un drainage des collections et une hémostase par l’utilisation de cire à os de Horsley et du Surgicel.

ABSTRACT
Scalp swellings are rather frequent in perinatal medicine, and are usually indicative of birth trauma. This case report describes a newborn with massive bilateral scalp swellings following spontaneous vaginal delivery. This situation led to severe life-threatening anemia and secondary coagulopathy. The baby was managed with phototherapy, vitamin K, antibiotics and multiple blood transfusions. Neurosurgery was performed to evacuate the blood collection. Hemostasis was possible thanks to the use of Horsley's bone wax and Surgicel.
