Infant scalp hematoma types
  • 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.
