Abstract
Occipital osteodiastasis (OOD) is a prominent traumatic lesion in neonates born by
breech, during delivery of after coming head. The lesion consists of traumatic
separation of the cartilaginous joint between the squamous and lateral portion of
the occipital bone resulting in a posterior fossa subdural haemorrhage associated
with laceration of the cerebellum. We report a term female baby with OOD born by
breeach extraction with X-ray skull showing separation of squamous and lateral
portion of occipital bone and NCCT brain revealing large extra axial bleed in the
right temporo-parieto-occiptal region.
