a tractor-trailer rig traveling in the opposite direction.

What is Cephalohematoma?
A cephalohematoma is a collection of blood under the scalp of a newborn infant. The blood pool is located between the periosteum (an envelope over a bone) and a bone.
Common Causes
- Birth injury during labor and delivery
- Large fetal head/small pelvic outlet on mother
- Underlying fracture of skull bone in 5-10% of cases
- Forceps delivery
- Birth by vacuum extraction
Common Symptoms
- Bulge over part of the infant's skull
- Soft, mushy area over small cephalohematomas
- Firm area over large cephalohematomasComplications of a cephalohematoma include jaundice if the blood pool was large as re-absorption of the blood clot may generate bilirubin as the breakdown occurs.
Additional complications
- Infection of the blood collection
- Minimal fractures
- Formation of calcium deposits on the skull
It may take up to three months for a cephalohematoma to disappear, but no treatment is typically needed.
Cephalohematomas are similar to caput succedaneum, which are more superficially located on the head.
