Cephalohematoma Clinical Trial
Official title:
Needle Aspiration for Large Cephalohematoma : a Retrospective Study of Complications
The cephalohematoma is a common pathology of newborns. Observation is the primary treatment for the most of small uncomplicated cephalohematoma. However large cephalohematoma can lead to calcification with anesthetic local deformation or deformational plagiocephaly. The objective of the study was to evaluate the iatrogenic risk associated with early puncture on local anesthesia.
This is a retrospective study of 67 newborns followed at the University Hospital of
Montpellier between 2010 and 2017. Treatment was puncture under local anesthesia between 2
and 4 weeks of life.
Any potential complication events were searched retrospectively during the month after the
puncture. Analyze of the electronic medical record was made as followed: read of
peri-operative and post-operative reports, looking for readmission in Pediatric Emergency
department and finally read of the report of the clinical control 1 month after the procedure
