    Abstract:
    Two cases of intrauterine depressed fracture are presented. In each case, the mother had no history of abdominal trauma during pregnancy, the children were delivered normally without the use of forceps, but a round depression was present in the left frontal bone at time of delivery. CT scans demonstrated a depressed fracture of the left frontal bone and stagnation of cerebrospinal fluid around the fracture. Elevation of the depression was therefore made through a small incision along the rear edge of the frontal bone using a periosteal elevator. A review of intrauterine depressed skull fracture is made and the concept, mechanism, surgical indications and operative methods of this rare fracture are discussed.
