| Discussion | Cephalohematoma is a collection of blood between the skull and the pericranium confined within the borders of cranial sutures. These hematomas are often caused by trauma associated with instrument assisted vaginal birth and are usually apparent within 24-72 hours after birth. The majority of cephalohematomas spontaneously resorb within one month of life. Beyond this time, calcification of the hematoma occurs as bone is deposited under the lifted pericranium. The exact incidence is not known, but large calcified cephalohematoma is rarely reported in the literature. |
