Internal fetal monitoring was introduced into clinical practice in the 1960s.1 Intrauterine fetal scalp electrodes are commonly used to evaluate the condition of the fetus. Fetal scalp abscesses are a well-recognized but uncommon complication of intrauterine electrode monitoring. We report a case of neonatal gonococcal scalp abscess occurring after scalp electrode and pH monitoring were performed. The infant showed no signs of sepsis. The mother was asymptomatic and had a normal pregnancy.
