How Long Does A Cephalohematoma Take to Resolve?
Discussion
Cephalomatomas occur relatively commonly in 0.2-3% of newborn infants. They are blood collections in the subperiosteal skull bones, usually in the parietal area. They are usually unilateral but can be bilateral. They do not transilluminate. They are felt to be caused by pressure or other trauma and occur in vaginal and cesarean deliveries, with presumed periosteal disruption leading to externally located bleeding (not on the brain side of the bone). The blood fills the space with some pressure building up and the blood acts to tamponade itself. The blood coagulates, slowly organizes and is reabsorbed. If reabsor...

How Common is Tongue-Tie?
Discussion
The anterior 2/3s of the tongue is formed from the 2 lateral lingual swellings fusing with the tuberculum impar and then separating from the mouth’s floor to form the lingual sulcus.

The lingual frenula attaches the tongue to base of mouth. Labial frenula are located centrally and attach the lips to the alveolar ridges. Often less prominent are the buccal frenula which are on the labial side and are smaller and more lateral to the labial frenula, us...

How Common are Aortic Aneurysms?
Discussion
Aortic root dilatation or thoracic aortic aneurysm occurs in 6:100,000 individuals > 50 years of age. It is due to aging, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, and smoking. Tertiary syphilis was a cause in the preantibiotic era.
Pediatric aneurysms are very uncommon but the exact prevalence is different due to the various causes. Aneurysms are due to genetic disorders, congenital anomalies or post-surgical repair. In pediatric patients with sudden cardiac deaths, 5.4% are due to ruptured thoracic aortic aneurysms.
