Parieto-occipital overlap is a common phenomenon in the newborn. As a result of the compression of the superior longitudinal sinus which it causes, it has grave consequences on the cerebral circulation. It may be responsible for deep cerebral infarctions by the deviation of blood supply which its causes. The phenomenon of overlap is greatly accentuated in the hydrocephalic child.
