Differential Diagnosis
Newborn Problems
- Newborn resuscitation
- Hypoxia
- Primary apnea
- Secondary apnea
- Hypothermia
- Hypoglycemia
- Meconium aspiration syndrome
- Anemia (abruption)
- Infant scalp hematoma
- Transient tachypnea of the newborn
- Respiratory distress syndrome
- Congenital pneumonia

Evaluation
- Subgaleal hematoma
- Between potential space between the periosteum and the galeal aponeurosis → can cross suture lines
- Occur in vacuum assisted delivery, but may indicate head trauma (ie NAT - non-accidental trauma)
- Cephalohematoma
- Subperiosteal usually from birth trauma as well. Bound by periosteum → Do not cross suture lines
- Caput succedaneum
- Extra-periosteal subQ fluid usually from birth trauma → Do cross suture lines. Found in dependent areas.
