  • Title: Neonatal Subgaleal Hematoma from Trauma During Vaginal Delivery without Instrument Use.
    Author: Liu LY, Antaya RJ.
    Journal: Pediatr Dermatol; 2017 Jan; 34(1):e40-e41. PubMed ID: 27981624.
    Abstract:
    Neonatal subgaleal hematomas (SGHs) are rare but potentially life-threatening complications of vacuum extraction deliveries. We report a rare case of four enlarging SGHs in an 11-day-old boy born without use of instruments during delivery. It is likely that trauma from the provider's fingers caused these SGHs during a normal vaginal delivery. Ultrasound findings confirmed the diagnosis of SGH, distinct from other birth trauma such as cephalohematoma or caput succedaneum.
