Depressed skull fractures (ping-pong) in the fetus and newborn are associated with birth canal pathology, maternal trauma and birth trauma following instrumental delivery. The authors report a newborn with a depressed skull fracture (ping-pong) who underwent minimally invasive neurosurgical lifting of bone fragment through a burr hole. Strategy and methods of treatment of similar depressed skull fractures were comprehensively discussed. Moreover, the authors proposed a brief algorithm for the use of vacuum systems and various surgical techniques, including follow-up depending on type, cause, size of the fracture and concomitant intracranial lesions.
