We present a rare case of an acute epidural hematoma (EDH) in a neonate. The EDH was caused by a fall during natural vaginal delivery. The clinical findings were normal after fall and the first ultrasonographic study did not show any hematomas. A computed tomography scan on the second day after delivery showed an EDH with 20 mm thickness extending through a skull fracture into subgaleal space. We performed a craniotomy and removed the EDH and subgaleal hematoma. After the surgery we performed follow-up twice ultrasonographic study for seeking probable hematoma recurrence. The patient was discharged after postoperative 3 days without any neurological deficits.
