The swelling may obscure the fontanel and cross cranial suture lines, distinguishing it from cephalohematoma, [2] in which the bleed is confined by its subperiosteal location. [3] Patients with subgaleal hemorrhage may also have significant hyperbilirubinemia due to resorption of hemolyzed blood. Laboratory studies may demonstrate reduced ...
Cephalohematoma should be distinguished from another scalp bleeding called subgaleal hemorrhage (also called subaponeurotic hemorrhage), which is blood between the scalp and skull bone (above the periosteum) and is more extensive. It is more prone to complications, especially anemia and bruising.
Unlike a chignon with no long-term consequences, a subgaleal hemorrhage is a more severe instance of trauma associated with vacuum extraction and forceps delivery, however most commonly caused by vacuum extraction. A subgaleal hemorrhage is introduced into the loose connective tissue found within the subgaleal space, ultimately causing ...
Subgaleal hematoma – between the galea aponeurosis and periosteum; Cephalohematoma – between the periosteum and skull. Commonly caused by vacuum delivery and vertex delivery. Epidural hematoma – between the skull and dura mater; Subdural hematoma – between the dura mater and arachnoid mater
Head trauma and brain damage during delivery can lead to a number of conditions include: caput succedaneum, cephalohematoma, subgaleal hemorrhage, subdural hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, epidural hemorrhage, and intraventricular hemorrhage. [citation needed] The most common fracture during delivery is that of the clavicle (0.5%). [7]

Amid controversy surrounding the carnivore diet, researcher Nick Norwitz recently released a video in which he debunks eight myths surrounding the meat-heavy eating plan.
Raccoon eyes, also known as panda eyes or periorbital ecchymosis, is a sign of basal skull fracture or subgaleal hematoma, a craniotomy that ruptured the meninges, or (rarely) certain cancers. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Bilateral hemorrhage occurs when damage at the time of a facial fracture tears the meninges and causes the venous sinuses to bleed into the ...
