Delayed subaponeurotic fluid collection (DSFC): systematic review and case report.
Child's Nervous System : ChNS : Official Journal of the International Society for Pediatric Neurosurgery 2024 April 5
PURPOSE: DSFC (delayed subaponeurotic fluid collection) is a benign pathology associated with the first weeks of life and scarcely described in the literature. Normally characterized by a lack of trauma and/or cranial fracture, it is associated with a history of instrumental delivery and the use of fetal electrodes. Taking it in consideration in the differential diagnosis of neonatal scalp swelling becomes important. The objective of this work is to expand knowledge on this entity: history, clinical characteristics, diagnosis, and treatment.
METHODS: This article describes a new clinical case and conducts a systematic review according to the PRISMA criteria.
RESULTS: Sixty-seven cases are included, they are summarized in a table.
CONCLUSIONS: DSFC appears generally 15-16 weeks after birth. The diagnosis is mainly clinical, based on a history of instrumental birth, labor dystocia, or trauma, and with compatible symptoms and evolution. It may be supported by complementary tests such as ultrasound and or CT of the skull in doubtful cases. The treatment of choice is only conservative, and all cases resolve spontaneously and completely after an average of 4 weeks.
