RESUMEN
Acrocephalopolydactylous dysplasia, (Elejalde syndrome) is a rare condition; only six cases have been reported to date. We describe two infants born with Elejalde syndrome (ES); compare the clinical, pathological, and histological findings with those of known cases of Elejalde syndrome. The post-mortem histology study of the skin shows hyperplasia of connective tissues, a diagnostic sign in this condition. We describe cardiomegaly, cleft palate, and cryptorchidism not reported previously.

A 31-month-old African American girl who presented with subgaleal hematoma (SGH) a day after having her hair braided. This hematoma was managed conservatively with resolution in 2 weeks. Subgaleal hematoma secondary to hair braiding is very uncommon. Being aware that hair braiding is a potential cause of SGH is very important so as to avoid unnecessary investigations, interventions, and reports to child protective services. A review of the literature, potential complications, and management of SGH has been described here.

Escherichia coli as a causative agent for neonatal sepsis is well established. However, there is paucity of reports in the medical literature of E. coli sepsis following scalp electrode placement. We report a preterm infant who developed scalp abscess and E. coli sepsis following a scalp electrode. We recommend a careful examination of babies with a history of fetal electrode monitoring as this could be a nidus for local and generalised infection.
