Analysis of Radiological Manifestations of Scalp Swelling In Neonates
Journal Title: PARIPEX-Indian Journal of Research - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 9
Abstract
Background : Scalp swelling remains as an important source of morbidity in neonates. The differential diagnosis for the examining physician is broad, the clinical findings are atypical and non-specific. Magnetic Resonance Imaging plays an important role in establishing the diagnosis. Aim: To estimate the MRI manifestation of scalp swelling in neonates. Methods and Materials: This study was a prospective study of 30 neonates who had scalp swelling. All the patients were from Government Kilpauk Medical College & Hospital, Chennai. Magnetic Resonance Imaging examination were done and interpreted by two radiologists. Study period from August 2015 to June 2016. Results: 30 neonates with non-regressing scalp swelling were studied. All subjected to MRI brain, some cases needed computed Tomography to evaluate the calvarial defect. On analyzing the radiological manifestation of scalp swelling 6 neonate presented with encephalocele, 2 had dermoid and epidermoid cysts, 2 had vascular lesions,8 had cephalhaematoma, 8 had subgaleal haemorrhage, 1 had potts puffy tumour, 1 had non accidental injury and 1 had nasal glioma. Conclusion: Scalp swelling is associated with high risk of morbidity and mortality in neonates. Correlating the radiological manifestations with clinical presentation can help in accurate diagnosis and appropriate management.
