I read with interest your article on spontaneous ping pong parietal fracture in newborns with impressive color images .The word 'fracture' can be quite traumatic to the parents and should avaoided if there is no radiological evidence of break in the cortex 1. It should then just be labelled as depression of skull bone without a fracture rather than labelling as DCF( depressed calvarial fracture) as mentioned in your article .You have also clearly demonstrated in your 3D CT image also that there was no break but only invagination of parietal bone .The management would also not change whether the depression is with or without fracture .
