Diagnosis
- 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.
