Abstract

In reviewing literatures, there are two types of intrauterine skull depression, traumatic and spontaneous. Pressure of the fetal head against maternal bony structures accounts for most of the so-called spontaneous type. Authors case was spontaneous type and associated with "fetal factor", congenital capillary hemangioma of the skull.
