Caput succedaneum typically presents as a soft, boggy, uneven mass that crosses cranial suture lines. The size of the caput is typically 1-2 cm deep with a varying circumference dependent on degree of injury. Petechiae, purpura, and ecchymoses (bruises) may also be present. Since the fluid collection is not bound by suture lines, the swelling ...
A subgaleal hemorrhage may initially look like a caput succedaneum or a chignon because blood crosses the suture lines for all three conditions. [6] However, notifiable signs of a subgaleal hemorrhage include fluctuant scalp swelling, a lesion crossing the suture lines, pitting edema continuing over the head, and fluid wave test. [21]
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 ...
Unless rarely, fracture involves the suture lines (more common in children), then epidural hematoma may cross the suture lines. [4] As the blood accumulated in the epidural space is confined within suture lines, accumulation of additional blood will cause bulging in this space, and thus resulting in a typical "biconvex" appearance on CT scans. [3]
A cephalohematoma (American English), also spelled cephalohaematoma (British English), is a hemorrhage of blood between the skull and the periosteum at any age, including a newborn baby secondary to rupture of blood vessels crossing the periosteum.
A subdural hematoma (SDH) is a type of bleeding in which a collection of blood—usually but not always associated with a traumatic brain injury—gathers between the inner layer of the dura mater and the arachnoid mater of the meninges surrounding the brain.
Caput succedaneum, bruises, bleeding along the displacements of cranial bones, and subcapsular hematomas of the liver are among reported birth injuries. Birth trauma, on the other hand, encompasses the enduring side effects of physical birth injuries, including the ensuing compensatory and adaptive mechanisms and the development of pathological ...
