Abstract
Subaponeurotic fluid collection (SFC) is a rare cause of scalp swelling in infants that is not well described in textbooks. It can be diagnosed clinically and managed conservatively. We report two infants, who had scalp swelling, with findings suggestive of SFC that resolved spontaneously. We have reviewed literature on the possible mechanisms of fluid collection. We wish to highlight the self-limiting nature of this condition so that unnecessary investigations, referrals, and interventions are avoided.
