ABSTRACT: The fetal head trauma is rare and seen in pregnant road accidents and during extractive maneuvers during childbirth. We have reported a case of congenital depressed skull fracture due to an innocuous fall from her own height of a pregnant of 35 weeks of amenorrhea. The diagnosis was made at birth, by vaginal delivery, by the discovery of a left frontal depressed skull fracture without neurological disorder. A surgical lifting of the drepressed skull fracture was made at the 2nd day of life. Outcome was good marked by a normal psychomotor development.
