Abstract
In spite of the fact that there are many articles considering that intrauterine depressed skull fractures are caused essentially by instrumental extraction, literature is scarce about spontaneous foetal head injuries. Here, we report the case of two depressed skull fractures and one of linear fracture not associated with any known trauma during the pregnancy or delivery. The etiological process leading to the idiopathic character of such lesions, the aetiology, the treatment and the prognostic will be discussed. The forensic problem raised by such cases is very important.
